She winced as the steaming water

Cascading down her back

Shoulder clenching

Feeling numb from a hard day work of faking a pretty smile

I mean that's what everyone

Wanted right

As it went down her bones

Ripping her all the way down

As it ran, laughing at her pain

Showing her a smile is okay

It Exposed the ugliness of the day

But she say it blemishes

And just begged it to die swiftly

As it fell down the metal drain

Along the dirt of the day

Grainy but in all fairness

That is life

When the faucet finally got turned off

She wrapped her towel around

He bones of body

Small from the words she had spoke into her already weeping mind

Staring Into the fogginess of the mirror

Watching the hollow eyes

Red from tears she that sprung from the shower

Knowing that if the shower can mourn so can she
