I still cannot believe 
that you got me convinced
all this **** is somehow related to love.
well, tonight I’m bleaching my heart.

and, of course,
I’ll forget to put on the gloves,
so I’ll blister quite bad.
but as long as it works, I really don’t mind.

as I’ll be scrubbing the pain,
which will take quite a while,
I’ll notice a big warning sign:
“use with caution, it erases it all”.

I’ll stop scrubbing,
tears will start running down.
then I’ll smile and start scrubbing harder,
thinking: “finally, what a great bargain”.
