Shower
Two years ago the shower was a refuge.
A place away from my thoughts.
It was relaxing.
But it's become a hell.
The scalding water burns out my cries
And the blades sit neatly on the edge.
Crying in the shower is easy.
Probably because I can't feel exactly how much of my heart is breaking.
I can't feel how much salted sadness is falling from my eyes.
But I feel it in my heart.
I feel heavy.
My knees go weak and I must scramble to the floor.
There I curl up into my scarred body and make marks with razors where your hands used to be.
What the hell have you done?
I had a meltdown in the shower this morning for the first time in a long while.....
