Colder than the icebox that rest in the cavity once containing my heart
Why did I let you go
The shower reminds me of the tears that ran down your face
And I can’t wash away those liquid stains that ran down your cheeks
The water gathers around my ankles
like the cemented feeling of me not chasing you…
I watched you walk away but my feet never moved
I figured if I stood there you would know where I would be if you ever decided to come back
But now I can stop my mind from running, running it never stands still
The steam creates this fog but you come to me vividly
Visions of you are always clear
And I can feel you near me
Here--- closer than you’ve ever been to expressing the way you feel
Closer than the barriers we peek a round to see each other
Nearer than the great lengths we’ve taken
To just be friends
We visit each other in our imagination
How we love to make pretend
Make believe that we don’t see the signs
But as I look at the water rolling down the curtain
I can see the sweat
I watch it roll down the small of your back
As you bury your face in my neck
Passion nestles there
Desire runs so deep I can feel you breathe for me
Needing, wanting me
I can feel what beats for me
But the fear of what we could be snatches away like the curtains
Draws back like the wrinkled skin of being in here too long
Being in this space like we’re wasting time
I turn the knobs the same way I watched you turn away that day
You pulled me close to feel my warmth
That day you put your hands to my face
Skin cold but I didn’t shiver
We locked eyes and I felt it quiver
We stole that moment in time
And we been fighting to give it back
Every time I hit the shower I think of you
Because I’m still trying to come clean
