the loss of faith backwards

v.
somewhere along the lines, you forgot to tell me that sometimes parents lie, too

iv.
if i meet god on my supposed judgement day, i will apologize for putting faith into you instead of him.
he seems like a reasonable guy and i think he'd understand

iii.
i'm not sure i believe in god,
but turns out the idea of his existence is more credible than you ever were

ii.
i was eight then.
i believed in god and church like i believed in unicorns and magic,
like i believed in marriage that lasts and love that forgives and endures,
like i believed in the mystery of fireworks and fish breathing underwater,
like i believed in you

i.
i asked you once why genesis never mentioned the dinosaurs.
you told me: "sometimes the bible lies"
