Love Poem: She Took Me

She Took Me

She took me to the place where memories are all erased 
A place where broken bits and pieces of promises where stored up
She took me to the place where mistakes are all erased,
'fessed up 
And cleared up
For what we messed up
And made up
A place where she held me without touch
And kept me without chains
Our minds decalibrated to judge
Cleaning off "lies" remains
Where trust gave itself up too much
And guilt being stubborn as blood stains

But I am heir to the father of understanding,
And I am nursed by mother of acceptance
