::: Used :::

She was used, devalued, dusty like a broken toy
daughter of an unconscious truth
known like Cain performed his second murder
knew.

Unknown to her mirrored image
In a shower that refuses to drain
The memories, the fragments and regrets.

Lord, why can’t water reach the insides of her moments?
Give her back her time Give her time

While she tries to scrub off his shiftless hands
primordial penetrating of her spirit
And a past that is more than permanent

More because it permeates
Her concept of future
And she speaks in timeless memories
Broken destiny that flows
As she wallows in her fragments
one with H2O.
