Showering in Vinegar

again

By Eve Luxembourg Published 3 years ago 1 min read

Showering in vinegar

Unease in my body like a horizon I haven't seen

Yet

Is coming up to my eyes as the roll on over

Yet

Again

Showering in vinegar

Someone has got to wash this dye out of my hair

Yet

Better than you could, but for now I’ll curse my blonde strands like

Hey

Forget that black and red

That was yesterday

Why are you so easily stained?

Showering in vinegar

I can taste it on my tongue and I ask baby

Do

You mean it when you say “I wish you did more of those sweet little things”

I am just trying to compete with your apathy.

Is it better to speak or to die?

Is it better to be loved or be right?

Is it better to have courage or pride?

You

Yes you

Can you understand a thing I write?

It seems too literal to be universal.

But one of these lonely nights

You are gonna feel stained

And find yourself saying fuck it

And shower in vinegar

About the Creator

Eve Luxembourg

Currently taking life far too seriously. I wish I read more than I wrote, yet here we are. I am incredibly cyclical and I like to write down my mind before it shifts.
