Sponge

Smashed mirror's broken shards refracting rainbow lights
Spilled petrol puddle's swirling psychotropic colours
The room's dark shadows intensify the brilliance of the candle's flame

Your larger louder longer than life laugh
Your preference for heavy metal music
Your all-embracing all-forgiving love
Your moments of stillness and concentration
Now with my knowledge of your past.

The shadows in your memory, the pain in your past
I want to take it all away,
Cradle you in my arms
My broken flower
Absorb your pain,
Absolve you of the hurt,
Hold you close to my heart
Until it washes away and you are free
My love.
