i have spent years trying to erase you
sinking my skin into boiling water
burning it hoping to turn the memories to ash
peeling my ears to relocate the pain
last i tore out my toenails
sometimes i scream you away in the night
i cannot erase your sins
i cannot erase what you did
it haunts all of my body
you have soiled,
ruined
yet, you dare call me dirty?
