On the mountain of promise
I built an altar
For days I prayed
I never faltered
Even when I felt you
Crumbling apart beneath my feet
I couldn't depart
Didn't know I was aiding the erosion
Scrubbing too hard,
Erasing emotions
Wishing that i hadn't prayed so hard
Laying down my emotions
For it to be scarred
Disappointed and hurt
i wish I could be
But a worse fate
Poured its blessings on me
Emotions and love
Became a distant memory
But I was determined
Not to make it a part of history
Though there's nothing
Left of this mountain
My faith holds strong
Hope feeding from its fountain
Because on this mountain
I built an altar
And for years i'll pray
and never falter.
