Faith
Faith decays faster than it grows.
You weren’t with me at night when
I went to sleep
so how could I know you
would be with me when I awoke.
I never told you about my recurring dreams.
The one where I’m
standing on the stairs
as they turn to sand
and swallow me.
The one where I’m
drowning in a drinking fountain
reaching out for you
as you turn from me.
I never told you I was afraid
to leave my room.
I didn’t think you would remember
anyway.
If I could never trust my father
how I could I ever believe in God.
