Redemption

I won't feign innocence,
I was used up
long before I met you.
We can't clean the slate,
eradicate the past.
I wouldn't try,
even if you asked.
To do so would
banish me to non-existence.
The best I can do
is to dust off
the pieces of my heart,
try to puzzle them
back together again
and offer it up to you
with half a smile,
pure intentions,
and hope for redemption
I know I don't deserve.
