**** THIS ONE IS MY FAVORITE****
Cleanse me the same way you shame me
-
Do you know how much you burden me? Your arms wrapped around me cover me in the sin that is ours. Our sin. It is choking; it is infuriating. It is mine as well as yours.
I cannot simply blame you, for I have been the one to cause such mess. I've caused the trouble love makes. How reckless it is to see myself above shame. Above tradition.
How could I risk, risk everything for my self-validation? I wish to go back, but going back means never knowing of your touch.
Of the freedom you brought to me.
I am lowly-a bunched-up yarn. A piece of empty paper or maybe a paper so used up that it has lost use. Lost youth.
Sin has made me clean. It was the world who saw it on me and called me dirty. I know l've been cleaned. My floors are no longer dirty, but what of yours? How is your floor?
How is the window you look out of it? Has it been cleaned?
You do not claim a single sin, and yet you are as equally dirty as you claim me to be. Do you expect god to pick your broom and sweep?
I will not continue to weep. I will not give you your pride.
