Faith

You crassly think the most unlikely ends

are those relying on another’s heart.

We fail to see that other’s faith depends

on fear of lack of faith on other’s part.

Why is it so outlandish to suspect

the other’s covert plot to see you smile?

You’d grant the self-same favor you reject!

In shoes you wore, we over-tread that mile!

We write each other’s key climactic scenes,

so spare belief for happ’ly-ended tales.

Invest in fairy dust and magic beans.

Trace stars with magic wands. When all else fails,

accept the best of my humanity!

You can’t object; you’d do what’s best for me!
