Lovers Faith

Dwelling between the demons she will never know faith,
Love as surrender of self to the one you desire?
In her resolve she creates barriers where none exist;
Only to learn jealousy takes her love away.

There is no doubt what her heart wants desperately,
Caged like an animal she enjoys the freedom dream,
Not knowing where it began or where it will lead her;
She will burn joy and beliefs on her alter of death.

Death differentiates between no lovers when it knocks,
Be it a verdict or a hideous green eyed monster,
Let me relish beauty of faith in the divine soul;
For when death comes it frees the lover within me.
