The Sponge God (As Advertised)

If someone or something hurts you
(Read: if you are dumped, cheated, mistreated or mishandled)
Don’t call a cleaner
Don’t trust someone
No one can help you
'Run and get that sponge'
An advertisement says
It will not fail you
It comes from a reputed company
Situated at a distant location far off
Invisible to human eyes
The sponge is so light that
It’s no burden at all
Apply the sponge to your
Sweat, tears, and blood
It can mope and
Soak your pain
Sponge will get heavier
It’s nothing but your guilt
Let it consume you
It’s better to carry that weight

Than be with someone or something

That will hurt you again
