Faith

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Explanations don’t change things Actions make things the way they are Intentions can be strange things Compared to the way things are Perverted conversions are here at last Fractions of a whole are only gathered pieces The dirty versions that have come to pass Now they yield this sum of what she is Explain and justify The distain in her lusty eyes Confused and contort the truth So I believe the words she uses Dirty girl with pretty eyes Tainted pearl in sweaty thighs Stupid cool are her wiles Lucid fool I am, for all her styles Written January 7th, 2002 © on Jan 07 2002 12:53 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
