You Can't See my Tears when I'm Crying in the Shower
That's where I go when I'm sad
My tears collide with the water
Safe for a rogue like me
All that macho bullshit washes away
I can just let it be
Crying about a lost pet or worse
Men don't cry
Or you don't see them cry
Like me they are probably in the shower
Bawling their eyes out
My tears collide with the water
Safe for a rogue like me
All that macho bullshit washes away
I can just let it be
Crying about a lost pet or worse
Men don't cry
Or you don't see them cry
Like me they are probably in the shower
Bawling their eyes out
Author's Note
My dog Ginger is gone 4 years this week
A day doesn't go by when I don't think of my champion

Lots of love. Losing our steadfast friends always leaves a hole.
I wish this macho guy crap would get up and fling itself off the tallest bridge, never to be heard from again. To cry is human. There is nothing wrong with vulnerability sometimes. I love this piece of raw openness that you have shared.

I appreciate your kind words E
I toasted her with a stiff drink. The night I had to put her down I drank half a bottle of Wild Turkey 101. Not so much this time around but enough to drown out the sadness
Many thanks xx

Giving all the secrets away.

Has it really been four years? I like your Ginger poems very much. Probably because she brings out that big soft side.

It's hard to believe it's four years
She still makes me laugh
Like most women, she was calling all the shots
I was happy to oblige
Thx Daisy

I want another but I still want her
You can't replace that feeling
Hoping with luck for a new experience
Like a new lover ...
Thx Remy

Oh, dogs... they bring out the human in us. ❤
Love this poem. I also think the macho bullshit has to go, but I have to admit I've used the shower trick myself. Sometimes you just need a cry that has no audience.

hug

Yes the shower is a good place to hide for those private moments
Ginger was queen of the neighborhood
Proud to have had her ...

Yes, tears in the shower. A great way to cry. Allowing the water to run over our faces, running over our heads, trickling and showering down over our shoulders can certainly cleanse our spirit selves for a time.
Thank you for sharing and making known your own vulnerabilities. Love the write.
