Untainted Imagery

your smile
once so brilliant & clean,
now tainted with hollywood's dream

you promised

you would be here, loving & true

but you ran as soon as you could

and I was left to fend for myself & your brood

you were the purest of hearts
until you met up with gin

now you are gone
like a low-whispered song,
and your message rides in the wind

you once were so true,
what has happened to you?
my lover, my only friend,
am I left here alone,
by myself oh so cold,
or are you here with a helping hand?
