An Empty Heart Full of Hope

I've found someone I can't live without Pitiful, I've only discovered that after they've left Now I can't live. I've descended on both knees A face flooded with tears, Which bled from my broken insides To repent, to pray to a God In which I did not believe existed A God in which I only turned to In times of need A God in which I believed would avail me, even if I wasn't the most Faithful of followers I believed if I was baptized in his name, he'd perform divine miracles Before my eyes, even if I did not practice his teachings Am I selfish for doing so? Set aside my failure to practice My own congenital beliefs, My heart still aches My body, still empty Legs shaking, weak from the lack Of his presence He is my pillar He is my wings He arises me above all that is evil He makes me feel whole, He makes me feel divine, He makes me feel like I can climb mountains, Slay the devil, himself I am a fool for this man He is my King And I would walk through hellfire to be able to hold him once more...
