Sweet Soul Badges

Etching lines with guns and needles, lines of arrows, ropes, and crosses,
Lines around the center of my head,
A tribal headband, Lakota style; fire, water, air, earth weds;
Sweet soul badges, sacred art, in skin embeds;
From your thigh on to my head, a promise made, a promise broken,
Soul companion, lifetime plans, just thrown away,
Because of guilt, or selfish greed, to get attention, the words were spoken,
Sweet soul badges, they tell a tale, whate’er you say;
The word commitment, to me or him, is nothing more than scripted acting,
You lied to him, you lied to me, to get your way,
To fill your lonely longing, to have your cake and eat it too,
Sweet soul badges, then you blame me, for your power plays;
Wolves and feathers, shaman magic, dream catcher cords, bright colors too,
Reflect commitments, made for life, between me and you,
You just deny it, and play the victim, tell me I’m psycho, that’s what you do,
Sweet soul badges, display what’s real, and show what’s true,
Sweet soul badges, display what’s real, and show what’s true.
