Bathtub
August Henry
Take too many baths
Things get really bad
I could stay under the water for days
And if I got time I'll deeply exfoliate my skin
'Til I've scrubbed off every cell that ever touched you
Too alone with my thoughts
Put on some music
The song that comes on you introduced me to
I've tried to make it mine but it'll always be ours
We'd listen to it on those late night drives
Where we'd talk about where we'd be in our lives
Without ever having met
Now that nightmare of a timeline seems to be an only truth
