"why do you take such long showers?"

"why do you take such long showers?"

A Poem by Sophie
"

its been a while, hi guys. ive changed a bit.

"
i think that maybe
the hot water
could scorch the sadness out of my skin
until it is raw and red
but emptied of your touch

and that maybe
the soap will soak into my bones
and break the hold you had in me,
snap the hope i had in you

but when i step out
and my soul drips onto the bathmat
the air is as cold
as you were

A amazing poem. Direct and honest thoughts is the best poetry. Hard to erase sadness. Would be nice to become clean of pain and sadness with a long shower. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Relatable and real! It seemed very honest and like a glimpse into somebody else's reality.

I love it! All i would change is, "the hold you had on me" instead of in me. But otherwise a great pice that feels real and sort of private. Thanks for sharing!

Wow! Very well penned Sophie...i really liked it...the parallels you draw here...especially..."the air is as cold as you were"
the pain...the sadness...the eagerness to erase...all so vividly expressed...
keep it up!
