Scumbag

I'm covered in dirt
that i can't scrub off
no matter how hard i try

A film of pure filth
of self disgust
still see that look in your eye

You did that to me
 and you cant take it back
no matter what measure of time

Will feel your mark 
in my skin and my soul
right till the day that I die

I am sorry that you had to suffer at the hands of this abuser, Debbie. In time the wound will heal, although the scar remains. Counseling could be helpful. Take care. // paul
