Faith and Hate


The evil in you
Attempts to flay me
Burrowing the knife of betrayal
Beneath my skin
Yet the stripping you've done
And clever stab wounds
Simply deepen the furrows needed
To receive seeds of increased faith from my Father
He strengthens me
To choose His love
Over the hate with which you fornicate
I must reject
Your angry pain
The Spirit of God leaves me no room for it
Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness,
Goodness, faith, meekness and temperance
Soothe and overflow my borders
God loves us all
You can't know how sorry I am
That my deflection leaves your heart
As the only remaining target
For what you've unleashed
I pray your bonds are broken
Before it is too late
Your forgiveness is already bought
