Washed away

Soaked in a bathtub on another mundane night of the moribund week
With an upheaveled mind and tear stained cheek
As the luke warm water begins to simmer
My nimble fingers start to quiver
My skin soon gets acquainted to the seething heat
The water level rising to my unpampered feet
Hours follow one another as I descend into the ascending pool
The clogged drain lets out a disdainful mewl
Water seeps through the moist valleys of my wrinkled skin
And a droplet of water trickles into the tub off the tip of my chin
The bar of soap erodes away into the growing flood
As the crystalline waters stain with a stream of crimson blood
My velvet locks fiercely unravel and rise afloat
And I sense an asphyxiation in my parched throat
My frigid carcass surfaces as the sinister waters begin to blush
I lose myself in the blurring fog as the showerhead continues to gush.
