My Dead Language

I just can’t wait

I just can’t wait

For the waiting to be over.

To shout

To sing,

To just feel alive again.

To feel everything

Slipping through my fingers

And let it be

I am not as much

As I thought I was.

I thought my force strong

My genuine complexities tender.

Not so much more, but deep.

What matters is my heart skipped a beat,

And so I hang my head in inevitable defeat.
