Faith

Faith

I fear what I seek 
For faith is strength
And I am weak.
So I stood still,
Hope is what I killed.

Faith in this life 
And in the one after;
Faith is something dear 
I can only run after.

Past the horizon,
Behind the clouds;
Through cluster of sounds 
I searched.
And I still search,
Yet still nothing to be found.

With no time to lose 
I continue to look for clues,
I took a deep breath.
And then another.
Then came rushing in
Past mistakes,
one after another.

Although I, myself have so little to give,
I still rush to find faith. 
For that's what it will take 
For me to feel safe.

With Crystal eyes 
I looked at the sky. 
love coated with faith,
That's what I crave!

No matter how hard I seek,
It doesn't seem to find me. 
Still, it's what I need.
I carry on my search.

For I too, 
Want to place my faith on another, Someday, 
Someone like me,
Who is searching for it.

You express this beautifully and heart wrenchingly too. Your first verse is stunning. And the honesty of rushing in past mistakes one after another. 
I myself have so little to give. That line is an example of the poet laying their heart bare. It is what we do. There's a piece of us in everything we write to paraphrase Counting for Crows. There are many pieces of you here. 
I wish you well and hope you find that which you seek. 
Thank you for sharing such an open poem.
