scalding hot water leaves the color red on my skin. i should start to feel the blanket of my body start to sting and burn. i should feel the wrath of the imaginary flames. although, i don't feel anything. i am numb to the color that spreads on my skin. i am numb to the color of red. my thoughts have clouded my brain. and i do not feel pain from the water. i don't feel pain at all in this very moment. i let the water ignite my body in hopes that it'll numb the memories and hurt feelings. i hope that it'll wash away everything that's going wrong. i wish that it would melt the melancholy away. the water may burn, but my feelings burn brighter and stronger. so i turn up the water a little more. i let it blaze not only my body, but my mind as well.
