Stained
a stain
is what you left me
like a kiss to the cheek
haunting memories
only yielding misery
abrasive words
inflicting agony
can’t scrub a tortured heart
with a dirty rag
it only sets the pain
and makes it last
stains may fade
at best
only time will tell
if your words are capable
of withering
but retracing is hard
so your words remain
a stain
to me
is what you left me
like a kiss to the cheek
haunting memories
only yielding misery
abrasive words
inflicting agony
can’t scrub a tortured heart
with a dirty rag
it only sets the pain
and makes it last
stains may fade
at best
only time will tell
if your words are capable
of withering
but retracing is hard
so your words remain
a stain
to me

"can’t scrub a tortured heart

... I agree with Tallen. These lines should enter the lexicon as an adage in the English Language.
