Conflicting Prayers

by Emily   Jul 6, 2007


How dare you.
Audacity is one thing.
Pure cowardice is another.
For audacity, I would admire,
But you fear the opinions of them.
The book someone else had written,
Is informing that your love is only false.
Because I don't pray like you I am wrong.
Because I don't believe like you do, I am bad.
Because I don't have a book of tales in my heart,
We will be separated at our deaths, because I am evil.
My dear, I will never find anyone as pure and good as you.
But you must think I am not the most innocent and pure man
I am sorry that my logic shows yours to be false, I truly am.
Please can you dissolve guidelines and believe in one thing,
If just for a moment, listen to me, and listen to my words.
I can place your hand upon my heart if that be a way,
Because this beat, speedy at your touch, is my truth.
I don't need a preacher to tell me that I love you.
But you need one to tell you that isn't mutual.
If I am wrong in my beliefs, than damn me
My afterlife will be spent in hellish depths.
But this is the life I care about, right now
This organic life where I feel your kiss,
This is the life where I want only you
I want to be with you only, darling
I need no savior but your words
Tell me you'll love me, please
Remembering my only belief
That I can only live for you,
To you, I have ability to be
A faithful, faithless man.
