dare to believe?

do u dare
to believe?

nothing to hold
but clouds in the hand
nothing foretold
but empty rattling cans

cheese in the closet
clothes in a pot
gin in the toilet
blood that won’t clot

do you dare
to believe?

trying to see
through fog too dense
straining to hear
in deep blue silence

yet disbelief
has brought no reward
bitter cynicism
games lost battles fought

do you dare
to believe?

i shall go on loving
indeed i know i must
in hope unseen
i shall place my trust

for i have nothing
to lose or fear
i’ve lost it all
in disbelief my dear
