and i’m rubbing the same old stain again.
soap crawls into the nicks on my fingers
and i wince and whine and wail and i think
maybe i should just use bleach?
but isn’t that too permanent?
what if i want the stain back
what if i miss it
what if i can’t live without it
what if i need it
what if i
what if
what if i need you?
