sliding her finger
across the glass
she writes his name
through the steam
on the inside
of the shower door

'i love you'
it says.
'why did you have to leave me?'
she whispers; words drowned out
by the hiss
of the hot water
racing from the shower head;

falling. hot tears falling;
water dripping
down her pink cheeks
she sinks to the floor,
choking on the thick
steam; she cant see.

her long brown hair
drenched and weighed down
stuck to her body; covering her eyes
she cant see
it hurts to breathe
'why did you have to leave me?'
gasping for oxygen
grasping for answers
huddled in a corner.

and shes crying; sobbing
calling out his name
for no one to hear

The hot water beats down on her
reddening skin
merciless drops of clear fluid pound over
her scars
her naked body
until she cant feel it anymore
until all the pain feels the same.

and the water is turned off
and the name on the door is wiped away
