Faith: To the Mormons

By BetaWolfinVA

in my heart,
i am faithful to one woman only
(but not the one i married)
-
in my mind,
one womans name rings out and drowns all
(but not the name of the one i tied myself to)
-
in my soul
i am bound to naught but one
(but she lives far from me)
-
i may believe in your church but not in your betrayl
how DARE you demand that i cheapen
the sacrament that means the most to me?
-
between me and god there is a gulf
for i placed my pride, my despair and then my hubris
between me and the one god intended
-
i can live with this one
but life is all she deserves
my soul? that belongs to another
-
if you see it, this is my confession
but i cannea tell you in person
lest i shame her e'en more

    the first three stanzas are a woman for me as well... the one i would have married... had i been less fixated on having children... i would have understood how she felt Scholar

    humm, i didnt even know that was established slang, I only tried to go for about a year... and no way was i going to sign up for "time and eternity" when I alreay'd given my soul to another woman... Scholar
