~ Tears in my Shower ~


I jump in the shower - it’s a good place to hide -
Tears in my eyes, welling up from inside…
They fall, mixed with torrents of water so strong -
They wash down the drain, it is where they belong.

It’s a good place to cry, so that no one will see -
In a steaming hot shower, there’s no one but me…
You can cry but it’s like you’re not crying at all -
Water with tears…
Tears with water -
They fall.

They fall
Mixed with torrents of water so strong -
They wash down the drain
It is where they belong…

*Poets cry with words, not always tears, you see.

Enjoyed this. I suspect many have cried in the shower at least once in their lives.  I have, and the wash of the warm water seems healing in itself.

Crying in the shower always made me feel so helpless and hopeless. I hope this doesn't make you feel the same way.

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
