All I've Got

Faith? Who needs it,
Faith's never done shit,
For me.

Hope? I don't need,
Hope or not I still bleed
For you.

Tears? Never cried,
I've failed when tried,
For nothing.

Time? Can't close my hands,
Can't grasp its sands,
For long.

Past? I forget.
Remember to regret
For us.

Pain? It's what sticks by
When I can't cry,
Its what waits,
Instead of faith.
Its my rope,
When I can't hope.
It gives me time,
When times not mine.
Its the only, the last
Part of my past
It's here
Forever
And so am I
I shouldn't have to fight a battle I'll never win, just to lose those I've never had.

    This is very sad and bitter. It's very bitter and hopeless, but I guess that was the point.

    Sorry if my poems bring you down, I don't mean for them too. But I am getting better, just a few grudges left.

    sorry, I'll try harder next time
    (ok, bad joke, my names faith)

    really excellent poem. As long as you can let it all out this way you'll be ok. And you know you have lots of love from everyone here. Really great poem, i think. like i said earlier to someone else, if it makes you feel then it has done it's job well. and this one really makes me feel.

    I agree with the others! Very good poem, great depth of emotion reflected! I hope that you are feeling better now.
    Our love must not be just words, but True Love, which shows itself in action,
    No one needs a smile more than someone who fails to give one,
    After you die...you know how to LIVE!

    Wow! I loved it Kovo. Beautifully expressed indeed. I love the hopelessness about it...it really digs deep. Very moving. Thanks for sharing!
