see? - it stains

and stains forever

painting scars that never heal

- leaving proof that it was real -

stains that from a distance

shift like sands in waves across the desert

clouding all our better times

it stains



wash me clean

take this stain

i dont want it on me no more

make it new; make it clean now

let me start again

and live again

and love again

wash me



but - i know it stains

and stains forever

etching scars that never heal

- reminding me that it was real -

stains that from a distance

shift like sands in waves across the desert

choking all our better times

it stains

Let me remove the angst from your....back.... THERE!! I am getting accustomed to the way you write... I've seen that place before too... stains... thank DAD for spot removers...whether physical or otherwise...

Onto the musings page now....
