My Dead Language

We’ve never truly been

We’ve never truly been
Because you’ve never
Truly given up everything
And now, time is up
And you can not surrender
Yourself to God’s good deeds.
You questioned
You paused
Now you are left out.
There isn’t a single word that I have not uttered
That still exists deep down.
For me, it’s all been spoken.
You’ll be left to mutter your own musings
And wish for a life you already had
I will give my own self to an existence
That deserves my faith.
