why do you test me
when i give you it all
why do you initiate
the dark night of my soul
why must i always be proving to you
that all that we are is all we can do
i hate that you hesitate
and don't fully trust me
i hate that you question
my intent and my love
so why do you test me
with so many questions
is the doubt all inside you
are you unsure of your place
is it your spirit that's failing
have i nothing to do with your fate.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

    when your spirit is failing
    my pen resorts to wailing
    its silent screams
    are read out loud
    and while its voice grows faint
    its meaning grows more important


    Very nice cate

    i'm reading some gerard manley hopkins at the moment. as i am an atheist, he stirs my fascination about Man's relationship with God and what that entails and what is expected from it. hopkins went through a crisis of faith and considering he was a jesuit priest that is of great interest to me.

    may be my savior
    but I know better
    and have before
    remained but a nose
    on the cheek of less
    been kissed oh holy
    with restraint and
    morning sickness..
    'I want to hurry home to you
    put on a slow, dumb show for you
    and crack you up
    so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
    god I'm very, very frightening
    and I'll overdo it'
