after you left
i used to stand in the shower
for hours with my nose pressed
against the tile wall

i would turn the water on
hot enough that it would burn my skin
and i would pretend that was why
i couldn't breathe

the fire brushing my sides
was simply stealing
the oxygen from my lungs

i would pretend that
it had nothing to do with you
at all.
Something old that I stumbled on...will probably scrap soon. Just thought I'd share with you all :)
