He's lost his faith in me..

Conversation with God

So you had a conversation with God.
Well what did the old man say?
Did he smile and promise
to take all your sorrows away?
Did he comfort you in your lonliness
and take you in his arms?
Did he convince you that he would
Protect you from worldly harm?
This world has grown cold
and become far too unfair
to those of us upon it
who honestly do care.
They often say I lost the faith
In the spirits above.
That I care not anymore
of romance and love.
How untrue, these thoughts.
I still do hold on
to all of these silly beliefs
from which my sorrow is spawned.
In the most recent days, however
It would apparently seem
the opposite occurance
These beliefs have lost faith in me.
I've never felt so lonely
abandoned by myself.
I cannot look even inward
In my cry for help.
I tried to talk to God this night
I tried to make him see.
But the Lord Allmighty made no response
For he'd lost his faith in me.
So I ask you of you dear reader
I do hate to put you on the spot.
But I have heard a rumor
that you've had a conversation with God.
Is it true, that you spoke with God?
Well just what did that old man say?
Did he smile gently and promise
to just take all those sorrows away?
Was he with you in your lonliness
and did he take you in his arms?
If you happen to speak to him again
Ask him please for life to spare me harm
and ask him why there is no room left for me
to be wrapped up in his arms.

Thats a very sad poem. Is that how you really feel? My recent poem is kinda depressing also, but it's just, well it's how i feel.

Wow, kinda a downer. I think we all question our faith atleast once in our lives.

I would post it but every time i get the courage someone always seems to tell me the poem either sucks or is to depressing.

Thanks for saying that about my peom. It means alot to have some positvie feedback on it. I know it's somewhat depressing but you just can't help how you feel sometimes. As for my friend and her adventure, I really don't know. I simply asked her what in the world she had taken that day. Her answer was simply that she had a few bars that morning and had smoked not but 1/2 an hour ago. She is now off drug weed for now. If only I could work on everything else she takes.. hahaha, yeah right. But I think of it as baby steps. I still hold my above remark on why I don't post my peotry more often.
