Her Faith

It was, I guess,
A matter of trust.
Faith is such a thin line
For lives to hang on.
Her eyes saw only
The best in me.
I gave her only the worst.
Effort was enough to
Make it last for a few years.
Finally,the inertia slowed and
it ran its course.

The ghosts of us  
Still haunt my life,
More powerful in the aftermath
And having more of an impact now
Then ever when it was real.

Her faith,
too thin a line
to hang a love on.

Powerful write.
Consider editing your last line for impact,
..."Too thin a line
to hang a love on".
This is awesome!
