May 2018
I did the unspeakable
I rushed to the lavatory
In desperate need to clean the sin off
Wash my filth over and over
"Come clean" I shrieked
Panicked, holding my head in my hands
Kneeling on the marbled floor
Only A towel drapped over me
Shivering not cold but frantic
I breath in. Stand up. Exhale.
I wipe the fogged mirror
Look into it with mournful eyes
I watch the figure stand before me
Not my reflection I see
Startled as it took shape
Regret formed into goose bumps.
Down my body as it traveled, multiplying.
I break as I see the picture in the mirror
I look up one last time
I marvel in disbelief...
