She begged the water to wash her clean

Boiling water to remove her skin

Scrubbing 'til she bleeds

Sobbing

Breathless

On her knees

Trying to free herself

Unable to accept she will

Forever be plagued by his sin

A world of vivid green

Sewn with golden thread

The sunshine whispers gently

Scattering through the trees

Surrounding you in halo

A truth more beautiful than fantasy

You standing here with me
