Faith

Trust misplaced, now I'm liable
For the hurt I can't deny
Blind faith's an empty lie
Faith's denied, left to pry
Lost, abandoned; never relied
Hopeless now, all have lied
Faith is not reliable
Deception cloaked in pious guise
Triumphed o'er the weak and wise
A crutch for those in fear of truth
A sultry dream never to soothe
Faith's denied, left to pry
Lost, abandoned; never relied
Hopeless now, all have lied
Faith is not reliable
Vulnerable minds meager defence
Doubts and questions pierced the fence
No fool to be hoodwinked and duped
By promises soon to be recouped
Faith's denied, left to pry
Lost, abandoned; never relied
Hopeless now, all have lied
Faith is not reliable
Reckless faith now left to seethe
In the wake of expectations leave
The fallout of the broken trust
All remains nothing but lost
Faith's denied, left to pry
Lost, abandoned; never relied
Hopeless now, all have lied
Faith is not reliable.
