Subject: Drenched

Author: Janel (November 22nd, 2007)

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 17:13:48 12/02/07 Sun Drenched Early in the morning, just after 3 am, I sat in the bathtub, attempting to soak my worries away. The warm, bubbly water, flowing quietly around me, softly kissed my skin, whispering upon me. I drew my knees up to my chest as I released a heavy sigh, enclosing my arms around my legs. My faded hair, tousled and messy, dangled over my blue eyes as I held my head down, my shoulders beginning to heave. Tears streamed down my face, dripping into the bath water, creating path after path, leaving remnants of saline lines, staining my cheeks with sorrow. For the longest time I sat there, breathing in agony and despair, shaking and shivering in the water now cold, transformed into a puddle of tears. My darkened thoughts collided with every teardrop that fell, "Why am I like this?" I wondered, "Why must I endure so much pain? What did I ever do to deserve this?" I unfolded my arms and stretched out my legs, allowing myself to lay back, letting the water wash over me. I closed my eyes tightly as I slid beneath the surface, hushing my cries with silence, listening to the muffled hum of life on the outside. Within moments I emerged, my hair drenched and dripping, falling straight against my skin, gently framing my face. Droplets of water glistened upon my cheeks, slowly gliding down, whispering across my lips, before slipping back into the tub. I drifted into a world of nothingness and emptiness, going numb on the inside, losing all track of time. I later found myself lying in my bed, I don't remember getting out of the tub or walking to my room. I moved to my side, ignoring the falling tears, hoping to sleep the pain away, to wake up anew. © JAH 5-17-06 . [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
