Showers and Lovers

There is only one thing more despicable
than lying cheating lovers; 
lying cheating showers. 

I come to you in trust and openness
Ready to bathe in your warmth.
But you choose not to play your part,

Standing there all proud and smug, 
looking down on me.
“You are pretty sure, but is that dandruff I see?”

Oh you, you don’t understand how I feel.
Forever spouting nonsense at me.
“How insensitive can you be?”

You burn me and leave me out cold
You grow hot and you grow cold.
“And I am supposed to adjust??”

I cannot get a handle on this thing that we have
Going round and round in circles.
Every day the same old story.

But I think I finally get you.

Then one fine day, 



you decide to swing the other way.
