A Fool's Faith
Silence
shattered by
the single scream.
Showered in pain
Can you feel
the waves through your spine?
The way of your god.
Ripping the souls
from those who believe
Sadistic?
Yes.
How long to suffer
only to find nothing.
No answers to the questions
No love to be given.
No rest
And for what?
You have lived for him
Given your life.
Dedicated your soul
Only to be turned away from
And showed nothing of
the love and kindness
that you were taught.
Did you really think
such a thing existed?
In your dream of dreams
And your hope of hopes.
What was it that you wanted to find?
And is it here now?
In the emptiness you feel?
Can you have the things you wanted?
No
And why?
Cause it is your gods way.
Too late to turn back
Too late to see the truth
For your soul is his.
And where are you now?
Alone
In the dark pit
Of your emptiness
Cold and afraid
Nothing but the lies to remind you
Of what you were taught
Of what you were promised
And nothing...
Nothing remains.
No glimmer of hope.
No ray of the "heavenly being"
Emptiness.. and hatred.
From the lies.
From the one you most trust.
