Faith
BY: H. M. Zike
Faith.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines this as:
Allegiance to a duty of person,
Fidelity to one’s promises and sincerity of intentions.
A firm belief in something for which there is no proof.
Faith has never been something that comes naturally to me.
I threw away my faith away along time ago.
Life has taught me that faith is fruitless,
And brings more disappointment than joy.
At this moment though faith is all that I have of you.
Faith, A paper clip, and dreams.
Even in the numb moments
When all the rest of the emotion and feelings
Have drained from my body; a little ember of faith in you glows.
That faith is what I desperately grasp and cling to.
When the pain becomes too much.
I hope my faith hasn’t been misplaced.
It would break a part of me.
It’s difficult to hold onto faith
When experience has taught you only disappointment.
You’d be just like all the others,
If you walked away without a goodbye.
My heart is heavy
The survivalist in me is stronger.
It holds onto that tiny spec of faith with a vice grip.
I hope you prove the dreamer in me right.
You’d be the first to do so.
I have faith in you.
