Milk
Milk spills onto the innocent fabric
Silver linens and threads of purple
As it flows, the shimmer turns gray
and the edges are laced in red.
I guess that's how things go
Some things spill,
some we'll never know
So what if all is ruined
tell me something new
To have everything destroyed
is something I already knew
The liquid is easily washed
It's simply rinsed out
Watch it dry
all is erased
It's easily rinsed
Everything is normal now
Until the next mistake
I guess that's how some things go
Some wash out, others show
Nothing is infinitely ruined
Just wash it away
Nothing ever happened.
Or save it for another day
Nothing is better than denial
Wipe it all away
It will disappear in a little while
The milk spills and yet you do nothing
Deny the truth. Deny the existance
It stains and it shows
but you look the other way
Watch purity turn gray
and innocence bleed at the edges
