ocean eyes (IV)

I took this really long,
                   nice,
                 hot,
 shower
to refresh my body
           and clean my soul.


As the water fell
against my skin,
       I washed my arms,
my legs,
     my face,
        my hair,
            and my mind.


But even after 
                         all of
               that,

as the tears streamed
               down my face,                    
   I realized.

I couldn't wash you
                     from my

                                   heart.
