I step into the world
of soap and water
and emerge someone new.
I go in covered
in your grime, your filth
the smell of you clinging to my skin
the evidence of your pleasure
staining my fingers and thighs.
the soap and water makes it
all go away.
all but the images of you closing your
eyes and biting your lip
burned into my eyelids,
the sounds of your moans echoing in my ears
the sounds of my screams
the feel of your rapid
strength and power.
if only I could
shower off the memories of you
