lyrics

I turn the faucet on. I lock the bathroom door. The mirror turns to fog as my clothes fall to the floor. The water on my skin gives the warmth my body is missing. The faithful fan spins and spins loud enough he can’t listen to the sound of me crying on the shower floor. I know there’s no denying I've been here before.

I felt the distance in his touch and witness denial in the time elapsing. I learnt love alone is not enough to keep this tired heart from collapsing. Within him, she is no longer hidden. I see it now in the entries written upon the surface of the mirror pane. The fog lifts to show her standing in my place.

In the wake of me crying on the shower floor. I know there’s no denying I will spend more time counting seconds between each breath I take. The steam in my lungs give reason to escape. When I no longer need to rest my head on my knees, I will turn the faucet off. I will leave.
