True Love
Dear Love,
I am bewildered by your trust in me, even when I have utterly failed to live like you. I long to have even an inkling of the understanding you have. I am so quick to fall away from you, yet you remain true. My exploits of late have me mistaking Love for Affection and Affection for Love. This left me with Dark and, as you well know, it took Truth to get me back to Light again.
I ignorantly think that I can live like you without knowing who you are. My Hope tells me that I will learn, yet Doubt is an unsettling entity that fills my head with thoughts of Hopelessness. Will you tell me your secret? Sacrifice tells me to give up everything. Truth says to proclaim him everywhere. All these voices are so blinding that I can't hear you above the noise. That is all I want to hear; Your voice so sweet and comforting. How do you silence them when they are so many? Is it that I must give into them all or stand against every one of them? I thank you for showing me your ways.
Always yours,
Joann.
