Simply My Faith
It's hard to close my
eyes and pretend it's all ok
That my heart healed as if
nothing ever occurred
I faintly believe in tomorrow,
since today is all but joy
Least the sun still warms my
faith
As for my dreams, they fell in
death long ago
I once was a great writer,
inspired by emotion and a
swollen heart
Only my spirit lingers by,
waiting only to fall into history
I question then my
imperfections, my flaws and
my fears
I wept long ago for my own
fate, still alone I found peace
As I came to terms with whom
I am
Slowly I drown in reality, that
my image too has fled from
beauty
I only ask why, why me
An eternal spirit I am, for life
beyond the flesh is available
Will I take part in that
promised eternity
Or will I too become nothing
Only God knows, father of
creation
Everlasting love and force of
life
Take pity upon my desolated
heart
I write only from my fears, and
broken dreams
The moon stands witness to my
tears
My walls stand witness to my
remorse and repent
If only I had done things
differently, if only I wasn't
made to sin
For the only outcome to sin is
death
Patiently we all perish to dust
Still our souls walk to pay
account for our deeds here on
earth
How many then shall be saved?
He said only the pure of heart
shall see God
Point out then a single soul
pure of heart
Man stains his purity with
greed and malicious acts of
insignificant pleasures
Take pity my Lord upon those
whom are about to be in your
presence on judgement day
Take pity upon my heavy heart
Mercy father for this world is in
the enemies hand, and I in the
worlds hand
In Jesus name, amen
