Belief
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
