Purify

You remain hidden
Glimpses caught here and there
I imagined myself to be ghostly
But you are haunting

There's kindness in your eyes
Words, touch,
Down to your soul I am sure
But there is a coldness too

I am a surface dweller
Emotions imprinted just below the skin
Never hard to read
If one truly wants to grasp

There is no want to hold the bitterness of my past
Release is the ultimate goal
The expulsion of everything that keeps us unhappy
A cleansing

Nothing to hide
Inside or out
Accepted, embraced
Forgiven....
