Solvents of the Heart

Old grudges dissolve.

The fight doesn't seem to matter,

What with what's to come.

I feel guilty still,

And so does she.

But she has to know

The imprint she has left on my heart.

/

She's a martyr,

So calm,

So resigned.

She believes in me,

But I'm not sure!

For once,

I don't want the glory to mine.

/

The water absolves me,

But guilt can't melt,

Nor friendship.
