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...
