Stained - Persephone

A void sheet of paper stares at me

Expectant, fearful — to enwomb a mystery

Tiredness paralyses my thoughts

My heart thumps

Like poison the blood rushes through my veins

A void sheet of paper

Expectant, untouched — to absorb a sin

Rain, pure rain

Deliver me

Conceal my thoughts

And hide my tears

Rain, pure rain

A void sheet of paper stares at me

Expectant, fearful — to enwomb a mystery

My fingers are stained with ink

And so are my thoughts

Dirty, keen demanding for him

A void sheet of paper

Expectant, untouched — to absorb a sin

Rain, pure rain

Deliver me

Conceal my thoughts

And hide my tears

Rain, pure rain

Distraught I run through empty streets

When I’m unable to sleep

Stained thoughts take possession of my mind

When I think of him

I feel like a fool, like a child
