A cleansing, my body pleas,

A cleansing of the evilness

That threats to bring my knees

To the brink of the muddy floor.

A cleansing, my mind begs,

A cleansing of the words

That drag my heavy legs

Into a land of constant dread.

A cleansing, my heart dreams,

A cleansing of the pain

That beats against the tender seams

Holding my heart from complete brokenness.
