Gently, Please.

I lay here in the tub. Water drained, bubbles still surround me. 

Heart empty, chest heavy, cheeks stained.

Resisting the forbidden urges.

Trying to remember how I felt in the July rain.

Holding hands. Eating cheeseburgers. Poppin some gum for a few minutes.

Then making out until my face is completely flushed red. 

Then going and getting ice cream.

Every part of me is broken now. 

I said I loved you. And it scared me. You scared me. 

Bring me back.
