Poetry: Never stood a chance

I've run out of saints to pray to

And God just sits there with eyes turned to the wind

mouth silent Like friends that don't reply

My saints went deaf and God went on vacation

I reached out to some whom I thought might understand

but no one had an answer

No one knew what to say

they were either busy or afraid

Maybe I pumped them up more than they deserved

maybe they are as ordinary as I;

a sub human category between genius and common

Religion is such a fragile topic

It's like talking about your mother to strangers

And yet I find myself orphaned today

Lost and searching as always

Looking for clues and answers from nowhere

only theories, only guesses and many deep thoughts

No more saints

Only people who believe a sub human category between genius and common

    Sadness Calls

    Sadness bid's me to its side
    Causing me to frown

    I live in this sea of loneliness
    Driving away all i see

    You Always made me smile,

    You always made me laugh,

    You still make me happy,

    When I think of our past.

    And even though
