Bleach

  
When we were within reach  
All surroundings seemed to be bleached
Everything was white and sterile

You were the only color I could see
In a room cramped with people
It felt like it was just you and me

Your touch was so soothing
It was like something inside blooming
Like I could feel your heartbeat
Beating inside my own chest cavity

Your brown eyes burned so vividly
Smoldering like damp bark on a fire
Smoking out all my insecurities
Convinced me the others were liars

You wanted me to see all this beauty
Beauty you talked about so animatedly
Apparently it was hidden inside me
I was scared to be illuminated
Petrified my skeletons would have shaded
The mess left inside

My essence was long ago crucified
Soul left to be mummified
My heart  dangled from a noose that was expertly tied

In you I found a blanket
A comfort that could not have been mistaken
Just like the fire in your eyes
A fire once ravaged my insides
Scattered and grey
Ashes lay my heart was previously sustained

When you would hold me
I melted into soft clay
All agony and pain stripped out of my frame
I prayed we could always be this way
That this feeling could be trapped
Forever stranded in my bay

My fairy tale ending started to fray
Then came that dreaded day
The very one I tried to pray away

Your brown eyes began to fade
Comfort rinsing away
You heart was astray
I don't want to hear another speech
No more convincing
I still cannot fathom the level of betray
Very well played

Everything comes out in the wash anyway
All I need is some bleach
