Two years down
5 more years to go
Till my body is really anew
Every cell
Every fiber is not tarnished

Stained with the tainted hands
That a waited for nightfall
To stain my skin with
Invisible ink
For the public to see
All blinded by the truth
Of the wolf in sheep's clothing

The days past as I await for my cells
To renew
A new subscription
To a body
Who's a faded memory
Without your DNA on it

The days I laugh a fake laugh
Plaster a smiley mask
To hide what you have done to me
The days I pass you
Pretending I don't know what you did
Pretending that I don't lie within my sheets
Wondering if I hadn't woken up

What would you have done?
