Faithful Blues
If I was a faithful girl
I would not be thinking of you
If I was a faithful girl
I would not have you on my mind
Isn't that what it means to you?
That when you are a faithful girl
You can only have one thought
Only one thought at a time?
If I was a faithful girl
I would not be thinking of you
If I was a faithful girl
I would have my eye on God
Because that's what it means to me
That if faithful's what I wanna be
I can have any thoughts, many thoughts
Long as they're in line with God
You couldn't even think of me
Without leaving me dirty
I called you my sacred friend
And you denied me as profane
You couldn't see how to keep it clean
Had to make a lie of everything
Had to call me a serpent
So you could justify running again
So I try to be a faithful girl
I try to keep my mind off you
And go to God, to God, to God
with all my little, daily joys
I shouldn't be writing songs to you
That's not what faithful girls would do
They'd be kneeling and praying
'Stead of singing and making noise

I felt the lyrics so well.
Hugs,

ae. get out of my head girl! I like the piece as a whole for how it reads and whatever it's exact meaning is for you. but iin t's usual way poetry speaks to an individual and I might have to borrow these lines to put in the letter I have been struggling to write for a week or more - so many 'dlelete' keys pressed, sort of the equivalent of a waste paper basket full of screwed up pieces of paper.

Wow.
That's a blast from the past. It's funny how these things can just pop up again in the most synchronistic way.
And I'm glad you liked it, Xalia. So nice to see you back around.
And Noni ... noninoninoni... sorry, no. I will not get out of your head. As anguished as it can be in there some times, I so love your head for the whole of it. I'm sad and glad that we've had so much in common to share.
