Clean

Waves washing over darkness inside the soul
Corrosion of impurities hidden deep within

Bringing to light the colors of this continuous hole
Disintegration of surreptitious sin 

New beginning, old endings, life anew 
Someday this spirit shall be again complete

The fortification of parts, the ending of two
A diamond made out of the simplest of coal 

Soon, the inside of my inside 
Shall be immortally whole
