Belief

 You don’t believe in angels
 Too abstract for your liking
 Your love is always conditional
 You are obvious to yourself
 Dreams explode from your head in sleep
 If only you believed in them
 You never give up on regret
 It keeps you somewhat entertained
 You are a hostage to your oblivion
 And that suits you just fine
 I accept your pain
 Even though you never explain
 I’m not interested in immortality either
 My ego failed me long ago
 I want to steal your life and make it mine
 Wake up with you next to me
 Because I am tired of counting days
 Until my life makes sense 
 Until I find something beautiful again
 Because it hasn’t found me in awhile
 This is not a negotiation
