Losing Faith



If you loved me you’d never leave and
If you had faith you’d never stop
Believing in me

I’ve never been able to not love you
I don’t believe in fables
I don’t believe in myth
I just linger in the echoes
Of the promise of your kiss
When you and I embraced

Take my hand
Take my hand
Let me love you

When at last I saw your face
I found my reason to exist
My faith renewed
For here you were in the flesh
Before me and I could taste
Your lips upon mine

Take my hand
Take my hand
Let me love you

And time after time
I recalled the moment
Kept in my heart
Never letting go
Remembering it
For safe keeping

And then you let me go
After I was exposed to the need
I was crushed and remain so
By the fall from your grace
Lose it all, I lost it all

If you loved me you’d never leave and
If you had faith you’d never stop
Believing in me
