Inner faith

Seems pointless to give love another try
every attempt leaves a bitter aftertaste
safe to say someone will eventually cry
another memory I'm gonna want erase

These efforts seem to drain my spirits low
siphoning straight out from the soul's fuel
I'm running on empty with a long way to go
to run out of gas now would be oh so cruel

I can only hope my endurance remainsl
this search for bliss is a punishing chore
adding more stress to the heart's pains
I feel like love’s used up rejected whore

Yet, I can feel the faith coming from deep within
saving me from being consumed by my own hate
giving me the strength to examine every last sin
and learn the lessons needed for a love filled fate
