Wash It All Away

She awakens from her sleep as if nothing happened the night before.  She 
stretches out to feel aching and she closes her eyes.  Her mind flashes back to 
the night before.

She remembers the call, the words, the feeling. She remembered giving 
everything and getting nothing in return other than broken promises from his lips 
to hers.

She gets out of her bed, she undresses then turns on the water to the shower. 
She steps inside, the water pouring down on her, she burst out into tears. 
Knowing she failed, she failed herself.

She wishes it all away, she is scrubbing herself trying to wash him off her. Wash 
all the kisses and touch that he placed on her.

She can still feel him touching her and kissing her, she couldn't wash it away. 
She drops to the bottom of the shower.

She is crying uncontrollably, the water still pounding on her used body. She 
trembles with fear, wondering what was to happen to her now. If she couldn't 
look after herself how could she look after another.
