Believe

I don't have a bad attitude

I am open and accepting

Listen to me

 

You stop talking to me

Because I don't

Believe in what you do

 

I listen to you

I accept your beliefs

So reciprocate

 

There's no reason for you

to stop being my friend

because of a simple belief

 

You are a hypocrite

You preach forgiveness and acceptance

Yet you won't even speak to me

 

How right of you

How correct of you

To ignore me

 

How great of you

How nice of you

To leave me

 

I don't believe

in your belief

but don't hate me.

 

Don't leave me behind

Because you can't

handle my beliefs

 

It's called

acceptance

and love.

 

Our friendship

seemed to break

when we spoke of religion.

 

What happened?

Is it so bad

that I don't believe?

 

You leave me behind

You leave me alone

You can't do that

 

I would never

leave you alone

or leave you behind

 

Just because we

don't believe together

doesn't mean we can't be together.

 

I'm disappointed

I thought it wouldn't matter

Here of all places

 

A place of acceptance

is what I was told

but it seems not

 

If I don't believe

what you believe

I guess it wasn't meant to be.
