At 11:11 Last Night

At 11:11 last night
I said a prayer,
Not a wish.

I prayed for our budding relationship.
A rose
That has found a way,
Weaving through thorns
And standing through storms
To finally turn its face
To the sun.

I said a prayer
Because I can still see thorns,
Reaching to destroy the flower.
Doubt
Wraps around my heart,
Even as I try to throw it off
For I love you.
I put a great amount of trust in you
When you told me you were a Christian.
But now doubt nags at me,
Actions speak louder than words after all.
If you are for real,
Show me!

At 11:11
I prayed for trust.
I prayed for faith.
I prayed for us.
I've stopped wishing.
