You’re like blood
 Running vertical down my arms 
You’re like mud
 Caked over hip bones 
 Swirling down the drain
 With gurgles and moans
 Whispering the ***** sins
 That put you there
 As I turn clockwise
 In the shower
 Letting the anxiety rise
 Until it bubbles over 
 And washes away 
Like an old lover.
 Like you, down the drain. 
No longer molding my body 
Or kissing my mind. 
 But I know you’ll be back
 Because you build up
 Like dirt in my skin
 Or blood in my veins 
 All the same, yet one of a kind. 
Because there’s something
 Awfully 
 Romantically
 Addictive 
About the slight of your hand 
That lovingly cuts me open.

cutting (you out)
You’re like blood
 Running vertical down my arms 
You’re like mud
 Caked over hip bones 
 Swirling down the drain
 With gurgles and moans
 Whispering the ***** sins
 That put you there
 As I turn clockwise
 In the shower
 Letting the anxiety rise
 Until it bubbles over 
 And washes away 
Like an old lover.
 Like you, down the drain. 
No longer molding my body 
Or kissing my mind. 
 But I know you’ll be back
 Because you build up
 Like dirt in my skin
 Or blood in my veins 
 All the same, yet one of a kind. 
Because there’s something
 Awfully 
 Romantically
 Addictive 
About the slight of your hand 
That lovingly cuts me open.
