Faith

I never drifted far
beyond my dream;
fearing the open spaces
not bound by walls,
but by limitations.
Here in my four walls of fantasy,
touching the stars is simple,
asking for love is safe,
smiling causes you to smile in turn,
not frown and turn away.
For out there,
you don’t exist;
in body, yes,
but not as mine.
Out there,
you scorned me for things I once said
and long to unsay;
in here, you card your fingers through my hair
and speak the words
that give me faith.
Now, you tell me why
I should choose to live
when living leaves me empty?
So, leave me to my dreaming,
my idol fantasy.
For faith is hard enough to come by
in a world not made
of your reality.
