drench me in all the shades of love
like you drench a worn out, shabby cloth
that you've long discarded
yet kept safe though curled and creased
in the forsaken corner of your closet
for a day, like today
drench me as much as you want,
as much as it is necessary,
so before giving up on me for good
before tearing me apart so I can't shield you
make me witness all the vibrant shades
that life and love has to offer
drench me, darling!
"make my existence worthwhile"
