[ soul ] ingenue

[ soul ] ingenue

A Poem by terry smith

I peeled the stigma of you 
like cotton-mouth 
off my thrice stained soul 
with a bottle of scotch & demerol 
adhered your memory to a collage 
of cardiac scars & yellow tinged bruises 
a shrine to the church 
of lust & regret 
the stained glass 
a reminder 
of the sins committed 
in loyalty to a cause... 
....the search for love
