Grumping

*The shower doors won't close properly,

and neither will

my eyes.

The water's getting in

The soap's getting in

The fear's

setting

in.

"He wanted her."

Past tense, I tell myself,

Let It Go.

And I have to, cause the water's

running cold.

 

I'm grumpy, upset, annoyed at you,

I'm in a bad mood

again.

Angry? No, not angry. Never quite

angry. Never (quite.)

He loves me, he keeps telling me.

"He tells you all the time."

 

I don't know why

I Need this doubt.

But it makes me need to

Try.*
