Bathtub

by emilyjennie

We're in the bathtub Soaking our tired bones We're so close to one another Melting away the anxiety And trying to face the fear that holds us back God, I like you Why can't I tell you? The candles are burning and our skin is touching The music is playing as you come closer You kiss my cheek and I run the hot water We lie next to each other, our bodies pure and bare We fall asleep leaving the negative thoughts outside the door.
