Until it didn’t

 The Rock 

The Savior

Of a soul 

In need

Of 24/7 surveillance 

To rid my

Heart and mind 

Of cynicism 

In a world 

That operates 

In a shade

Of grey

Lacking nuance

Logic

Reason

The ability 

To think critically 

Or have faith 

In something 

That can’t 

Be explained 

Lord

Show up

Show up

Because I 

Know You

Are real

But the

World

Now deifies

People

Places

And Things

The only 

Time 

You’re desired

Is when

Bottoms

Are falling

And our

Hearts shatter

At the cruel 

World

We thought 

Would 

Save us

Until it didn’t
