My eyes filled with regret. My body felt as if it was on fire.
I was burning in my own sins.
Water filled the tub as I sat there hoping the sensation of the burns would go numb.
My mind was numb. I had never felt so dumb.
No matter what I did I was engulfed in the heat and pain.
I sat there in sorrow and regret.
All I could see was the bright white of the tub.
I was the most vulnerable I have ever been in my life.
It's like the pain of past events came crashing over me like a wave.
