Bath

The water runs hot

As I boil this tainted body

To purify it of my previous sin

I scrub off my flesh

To remove the feel

Of your touch

The scrape and scratch

Of the sponge against my skin

Only hightens the desperation

Your scent clings to me

Like it was always meant to be there

And the guilt snakes up inside me

Just as you did moments before
