New Storms For Older Lovers

The water runs in rivulets

Down his body

Tendrils seeping through his pores to soothe,

The only comfort he’s ever known

Washing away the sins of the past

Few hours

And hopefully

He’ll be clean again

Maybe he’ll forget

The memories rising up and out with the steam

Fleeting

Until he opens the door

And they

Comments

"he is raw and red, And soaked with shamefulness of all he’s done,
And the things he should’ve said “no” to"
Wow. Gave me chills and filled my mind with images.
It's subtle, yet it says soooo much... Love it :)
