    The Sad Shower

    She said she would shower before I go
    as long as I applied the soap
    to her soft cool skin.
    I washed her. She washed me.
    I knelt and rinsed her with my tears.
    I cried between her two small breasts
    rinsing away the pain and the suds.
    She didn't cry but her eyes were sad,
    pain was deep, very intense,
    for sin or for me
    I'll never know.

    Very good imagery here; your words are very poignant and the feelings are easily felt. Great job...10

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
