With This Soap

I cry behind
the bathroom door
wanting you
to leave
but stay
telling me more
hurt I feel
splashes cold to hotter
lower myself
down as I
drench in
the salty water
bathe in tears
of false hope
soothing my own
deep cuts
but can not
get clean
with this soap

(big hugggssssss) Oh Helen, this is so very sad, I can feel such anxiety and sorrow behind these words, my heart goes out to you and I pray that you have found true love that has made you feel clean and has made all your dreams and joys squeaky-clean! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is sad but beautiful! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Helen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
