hot soap
And water
Fill the tub and get in
Scrub away your failings
...
I am cold as stone
And as unyielding
I do not ask for anything
...
We did little more than kiss
For hours
Although, you keep reminding me of
The other thing you say I did.
...
My children
Are not born from me
They were stolen
From my treacherous body
...
I stared my past in the eye today
And I walked away
All the tears i had shed -
Like silver rain-
...
in the greater scheme of things
nothing really matters
the marks
the fervent endeavours
...
