stains

There’s so many stains on my floor 
From your cat’s  
To the bleach 
That spilled on the floor
I wonder if the 
Scent of my room
Had changed
From the very presence 
Of you
& not in a good 
Way either
Might as well 
Dismiss the 
Rest of the
Trauma because 
Living with you
Felt like my all time 
Low. I feel as though
I can’t recover 
From living in that 
Filth
It has traumatized me
Left a stain
That was molding
Left a hole
Never to be
filled again
Can never 
recover from
To go back to
My high
Standards 
Of messy
Your filth 
Has plagued
Me
Left me 
Feeling broken 
My feelings 
Of never 
Being enough 
Amplify through
The streets
Never to 
Return
Or be rebuilt
Again
No amount of 
Cleaning 
Would do the
Job
The stains are
There 
Permanently
Staring back
At me 
Consistently
Reminding me
Of the mistakes 
That I can’t 
Take back 
That followed suit
To loving you
