And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes."

She stepped one bare foot into the hot water.
It felt so warm.
She climbed in,
lay down,
let the hot water engulf her body
The lights were dim,
the water dull.
She closed her tired eyes...
a tear dripped into her bath water.
then another
and another.
The water meant to cleanse her sins
was now infected with them.
Yet she lay,
helpless,
soaking up the water,
soaking in her sins.
She kept her eyes closed,
trying to forget.

It was nice, I can feel the emotions in the poem as I read it. I like it a lot, Very creative and you chose good words to describe it. Like when you said "Let the hot water engulf her body" ta-ta
