it's mine

By Father_Faust

it's mine
I claim it
I will take care of it
please just leave it
don't touch it agian
you'll contaminate my sin
your smell still perforates my skin
the longer you stay
the more it sinks in
I'll have to scrub for an hour
sit in the shower and cower
not just from you
but from my (own) loss of power
my own sense of shame
I mistook you for a friend
and thats why I let you in
I should have sensed something wasn't right
nobody will beleive
I even doubt I put up much of a fight
it was surreal
and if I pretend
maybe it didn't happen for real
maybe it's all in my head
maybe I got the bruises from somewhere else instead
nobody will ever beleive
It's mine
I claim it
I will take care of it
