Belief

n. The mental act, condition, or habit of placing trust or confidence in another

 I don’t believe in miracles,
The shiny tales of wonder,
Eluding all of physics and nature.

 I don’t believe in miracles,
The glorious stories of sudden joy 
Imparted by a stroke of chance.

 And yet, each moment, I am with you 
I desperately wait for a wonder 
Defying the laws of existence

 I don’t believe in miracles
But looking at you, so far from me, 
I wish that I did.

    "And yet, each moment, I am with you
    I desperately wait for a wonder

      Thank you. It is a beautiful (if bittersweet) feeling to be in this situation.

n.  Mark left on a table by a moist glass You smack my hand away  As I try to pick up a mushroom from the pan “It’s not done yet, wait for it to be on your plate.” I laugh and pick it up anyways.  You laugh and pull me close. I tell you about my day Complaining about the unfairness of life You tell me, so what if the world is vile As long as we have each other, Who cares where all else goes From the corner of my eye I can still see us laughing and loving But you’re gone the moment I turn around All that remains is a ghost of you Calling out my name They tell me to say goodbye You’re in a better place, they tell me I don’t care, all I know is I am alone I had you and I lost you Now nothing could be the same
