Soiled

March 21, 2024

Broken pieces of hearts and souls all across the world

Ladies, we never thought we would be "that girl"

With tears in our eyes and marks on our skin

Fighting everyday to beat the demons within

The slow kirtle of emotions between us brought waves of decisions gone bad

Though I didn't feel them crash into me before I wish I had

Because I was not prepared for the biggest crash of all

Carrying droplets I'd regret that started out so small

I can taste your pain in the mist

Sour, it makes my stomach twist

You defiled our safe haven along the shore

I can't go back there anymore.
