I Took A Hot Shower Love Poem by Eila Mahima Jaipaul

I took a hot shower
cause I was feeling cold and alone love.
standing under the water
I let it fall over me
trying to wash away my sadness
I'd have tried to drown
but who ever heard of someone drowning
while standing in a shower.

I waited there
hoping for something to happen
anticipating the arrival
of better feelings with the soap.

stripped of my facade
I knew there was really
nothing there
well, maybe not nothing, but certainly
something not worth writing about.

I tried to lose myself under the water
but its narrow in this box of glass
so that didn't work either.
besides, how can you hide
when you're surrounded by clarity.

I took a hot shower
because I was cold and alone love
but more importantly
I took a hot shower
so I wouldn't notice
the warm tears running down my face.
