Contest "I Want to Believe" AN X-FILE DEDICATION by gypsyfan

In honor of the soon to be released X-files sequel, I want you to explain to me what the quote, "I want to believe" means to you. But, keep in mind that I like dark, personal, vicceral, and especially rhyming poetry. It has to be something that rips you apart like love, loss, or a combination of both. I will judge according to how I would enter this contest. The write that elicits the most emotion in me will win. A winner needs to illuminate the beauty that is agony and pain, a winner should want to believe in love...the other side of love...whatever that is. I'll leave it to you to decide.
PLEASE SPELL CHECK I CAN NOT EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLEASE ONLY RHYME
NO STORIES ABOUT ALIENS PLEASE. THAT IS NOT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT
IN YOUR AUTHOR'S NOTES PLEASE INCLUDE, "I WILL MISS MY LAMBCHOP CANDY"
HAVE FUN............................

Final notes:
This contest was extremely disappointing!! The poems that won did not necessarily deserve the places they got. And, for those of you that received honorables, well, read the friggin rules!! You only won because you followed half of them. I do appreciate all of the entries but my god, read the rules people!! Anyway, congrats to all of you that received points, but didn't deserve it...
