Faith
What is faith if it can’t be proven
A belief that I have in my heart
But can’t touch it and deconstruct
In a way so others can feel it too
Belief is inside of my heart locked
And can’t be experienced by others
So, others believe it doesn’t exist
They say: get rid of your stupid
Desire to bring meaning to your
Own miserable existence on planet
I struggle to find a way to explain
To strangers who keep asking
If there is any meaning at all
For anything that we do or don’t
Give me a proof of any kind
I can’t open my heart wide enough
For others to reach my sacred faith
That words fail to find a name for
But I can offer them love which
Can’t be proven in the same way
As my deepest faith in God
Anyone who ever loved knows
That love exists and it lives in
The depths of the heart of the one
Who loves even others can’t see it
Love feels real, powerful and alive
Once it takes you by surprise
And the more you resist its impact
The more love tortures you to make
A pact with your bleeding heart
Like faith love can’t be proven
But you can fall in love even if you
Don’t believe in it and mock its existence
Love might do to you many things
Opening the doors for you to suffer
Or live in bliss whichever destiny
Is yours written in skies to prove
The existence of God
