Faith & Assets

You have talked to me
of love and principalities
of Germany and Portugal
which leads us to believe
that sympathy/humanity
lie so far from home
in our city for the found

Depression’s a child
with all of
the bright toys they want
You tell me
I’ve never
looked so repressed
when I admit
that I’ve never believed
in myself

That makes it worse
like it might
never happen at all
You push me away
I need to share your days
my spirits are dampened
never so much
more so than
by your
silent moods
you think I’m an eyesore
male grooming
takes up yet more time
better spent
developing a pastime

Blood comes up
and I’m stood there asking
what means more
your faith or your assets?
Could it be
that I’ve gone and passed it?
I rarely do the things
you want me to do
