The Stain is Set

It's too late
you've already stained my heart
an indelible mark
I can never erase

The stain is set

I waited too long

to attempt eradication

allowing you to dry

now it's too late

No soaking nor pre-rinse can release you

More stubborn than mildew

you're bleach-proof man

even Mr. Clean has given up

So I guess I am stuck with this permanent mark

maybe it will wear off in time

or I can get a new one

like that's ever going to happen

guess I'll go and get some 'spray and wash'

or maybe I can  'shout it out'
