I'm in the shower
Water caressing my skin
Steam clouding my eyes.

I'm cleansing myself
Washing away yesterday.
Awaiting rebirth.

What will I become
In the time before my next
Shower, I wonder?

You can convince yourself
That you can survive
But deep down, you know
Love is needed to thrive.

You can tell yourself
That you can forget
But you know you'll always
Remember the day you met.

You can say to yourself
There wasn't a spark
Because you won't accept
That someone left a mark.

On and on like a merry-go-round
my thoughts are drowning in the sound
of a ****** and merciless battleground.
