When Faith Elopes Comments

Although the common usage for the word elope means to wed in secret, the word is also used by the staff of mental hospitals to describe a patient's disappearance. A mental patient on the lam isn't said to have escaped, like a prisoner, but rather to have eloped. I like the imagery - faith has left, but faith was kept inside because it was deemed insane to start with. Otherwise, I don't know what you're suggesting by using the word elope - has faith secretly wed some other virtue in the night? If so, which, and why? But, in the sense of faith being a mental patient, I do like your choice. This is a good verse.
