Lilted

Showers

Standing in the tub
Curtain drawn
Red
Raw
Clean

Showered by tears
Who do they belong to
I'm hurt
But at least I'm clean

Tendrils of hair
Grasping for the tile
Out of reach

Down my face
They stream
Finally free
They scream

Droplets forming
On my toes
My ears
My nose

Cries unheard
By the closest of ears
Maybe a witness will
Dissolve my fears

Am I clean
Yes
Am I dirty
Yes

I am
Raw
Red
Clean
Dirty
Hurt

As I stand
In the tub
