Hot tears come from the shower head

wash the smile off her face

but still a stain remains

to remind her

that it was

Stoic

tough one

keep it all inside

don't let anyone see it

tears leave stains on her face

until smiles come from the showerhead.

    Ohhh this one hits! I love the way the shower becomes both the crying and the healing. Showers really are the unofficial therapist of the human race. πŸ’–
