I Believe
November 11, 2015
I believe in truth
lips speaking words of honesty
hands clasped in a zipper of conviction
I have seen the carnage from lies and do not wish to return to the the destruction site
taking bricks from the rubble will only result in building the same house
I believe in trust
soft breath
words dripping with skepticism
I only wish to lean on your strong walls
built from my fear of falling
when I feel your foundation waver
ill wisper
I believe in you
