I want to believe.

"Speak to me of heaven and I will say "even angel's can deceive". Describe hell and I will motion around me and say "I certainly believe". Teach me of love like you believe it actually exists and explain how a good man was betrayed after being kissed. Speak to me of truth that is laced with a sweet seductive lie. Then lull me to sleep with a sadistic lullaby. Beg me to open up and just receive. With a tear I will whisper, "I can't, but I desperately want to believe".
