Faithful
Lex Mroczko
I’ve never been religious.
But I find myself
Before a kneel
Feeling ever so committed
He held my fate in his hands
From this day forward
I have to find my place
In this stained light
For better
I will be
For worse I can’t see
This existence around me
For richer he
Provides me
For poorer my logic
Drowns
At what cost
Is this credence
In sickness
This place heals me
Yet in health
It tears me down
To love I thought
Was their reason
But to cherish contempt
Of the people of His world
For sins they don’t understand—
I don’t understand
Till death do me part
This church is my life.
This hell is now his.
