on the rare occasion
that you chose to show me affection
it was two bodies together
two souls apart
I used to shower
immediately after ***
to wash away the filth
to scrub away the feeling
let my tears cascade
like the rain from the showerhead
watching my pain ridden bubbles
slowly disappear down the drain
when I emerge you ask me
why my eyes are so red
I tell you I got shampoo in my eyes
you laugh and say how stupid I must be
Tell me,
who is the stupid one?
the girl with red eyes?
or the man who never noticed
she cries after ***
