Faith
by ianblackpoet
You hide your heart beneath an angel’s smile
And pretend that it’s okay
You laugh and joke but all the while
You cry in pain each day
I want to help, you know I do
But you barely let me in
Though my heart belongs to you
You just wont hear a thing
I’m reaching out, but you wont grab on
I’m scared you’ll fall away
I want to say ‘your fears are gone
and I’ll keep them at bay’
We all have scars we dont like to show
I, perhaps more than most
But over time, only good will grow
If you choose to hold me close
I’m here to see you in decline
And to catch you if you fall
But I pray to god that you’ll be mine
And one day we shall have it all
