no words no actions and no vow can show how much i love you


The drops hit my head

add a 100 years of shame
I watch tears go down the drain
as it imitates my life

I take the towel and dry
trying to scrape  away the pain
I dry my legs
i'm scaling a tower
i slide open the shower door
pushing away blame

I put on clothes, try to hide
sorrow and vain
draw a smiley face in the mirror
smother it until
I force a smile

I say my name
then walk out into the world
clean
like i have no pain
