Description They cascade down my body, washing away my sins. Lukewarm droplets cleansing my outsides; if only it worked for my insides too.

My right hand rests on the side of the beige coloured shower wall, holding me up as I lean into the falling water. My head is slumped forward; I'm drained. As the water runs over my naked body, it pulls me down. I feel as though I'm plummeting through the darkness of my actions even though I stand still.

My eyes are closed as the water floods over my face, washing away my tears; my sweat; the scent of of someone else, it lingers on me and makes me feel ill. My legs begin to feel weak as I remember what I've done, so I step back and slide down the opposite side of the shower and sit. The water now plummeting onto my chin, chest and legs. Washing away the saliva that's pasted around my breasts.

I sit there for what feels like forever, even after the water begins to run cold; gently stinging my skin at first.

I try not to think, to remember.
