Poet Bio

I wash, I cleanse
as it drains away
I soak, I scrub
Hoping it drains away
I lather, I wipe
Wishing it drains away
When I close the tap
Your sin will drain away

As I wash the thought
I cleanse my flesh
As I soak my skin in tears
I scrub the trust away
The more I lather in pain
The less seed I wipe away
Wishing it rains inside
But even then
Shame won’t drain away

With a pill in place
blood might drain away
No gift to keep
I only hope to flush away
If it beats inside
As it grows I’ll run away
Nurse my health
Sedate my sorrow
If I rise tell me
Did it drain away?
