Washed Out Love

A women taking her power back after giving it freely

He bathed me in his voice
caressed me in his words
licked me in his passion
swaddled me in his love
tied me with his lust
then he set me free

I showered him in my trust
soaked him in my truth
doused him in my consent
soaped him with understanding
splashed on him reason
then I liberated me

he washed with compassion
drenched now in clarity
sopping wet with tears of shame
flush was his bleeding heart
lave with loves old memories
billows of pain will ever remain
