Every now and then,
It drips
Like water
From my ceiling,
Until all I see is
The rain.
It follows me
Through the breeze
And sounds like the word
“Please”
Drowning me in shame.
I can still hear it trembling,
Like a lie
Behind clenched teeth.
A lie that no one can hear but me.
It waits until my skin
Finally feels clean,
And reverts me
Back to a time
That still tastes like seventeen.
I don’t want to remember
You in a place
You didn’t belong.
I don’t want to remember
Because no one would believe me.
But I still feel it here.
It drips like water from my ceiling.
It follows me through the breeze.
I can hear it trembling, like a lie behind clenched teeth.
A lie that only I can hear.
And it makes my skin feel *****
