*Shower - 2018*

Looking in the mirror - dead eyes staring,

Turning back - yet nobody's caring.


The water turns hot enough to melt flesh,

Eyes closing as it starts to refresh.


Water burning slowly

Slowly evaporating quietly

Quietly screaming painfully

Painfully erasing memories.


Thin lines shattering her armor,

Shattering herself for a charmer.


Screams from the inside,

Not heard from the outside.


Steam fogging glass

Glass shattering loud

Loud fragments flittering

Flittering gently down.


Tears mixing in with water,

She thought she was okay.. until life got harder.


Stepping out of the shower asking herself why,

She can't be perfect as she makes herself dry.
