Soap

I fill the tub with bubbles.
To try and escape all my troubles.
I fill it up with happiness and glee.

And I let it drown all my worries and me.
I try to keep the water warm.
I try to keep the water cool.

Untill my confession turns into a pool.
Sometimes,I can't help but feel like a fool.
Because the words slipped out my throat.

Untill ""I love you!"" makes me choke.
And I want to drown myself in soap.
Wash my mouth out with it,and cleanse my body.

I let my bathtub drown me in glee.
And I add more soap to ease my troubles.
I couldn't help,but think I was such a fool.

I said ""I love you!"" to the guy I used to drool.
We meet in school,it comes out my throat.
Bubbles begin to float.

I spill out and begin to choke.
Filling the room with bubbles of my own.
If spilling bubbles was a competition,I would have won.

I fill it with water once again.
And I let my bubbles take over me.
God,I feel like such a fool.

I said I love that boy at school.
I spilled my bubbles once again.
And I'm sick and tired of playing this game.

But I could not resist.
Without him,I could not exist.
He said my bubbles taste sweet.

Untill he popped them one by one.
And I knew what needs to be done.
I fill up my bathtub once again.

But it gets redder,words spilling.
Bleeding in my bath.
Clean out the excess.

And escape his wrath.
I shouldn't have said the word ""love'".
Now I cannot escape.

And I can't take it back.
God ,I feel like such a fool.
I said I love the boy I used to drool.

The water now is soaking red.
And it's time to go to bed.
I forget all the tears I shed.

And fill bubbles in my head.
The memory of him erased.
And so did I,by the soapy bubbles I raised.
