Words Unspoken

A poem I wrote about how the lack of sharing our faith hurts more than a little bit of risk on our part.

Staring at each other
Silent, no words come
You speak of the weather
Instead of what's in your heart
The words on the tip of your tongue
I turn and walk away

I'm still full of grief
I catch your eye
Your eyes full of sadness
I ask across the gap
Why did you stay silent?
You kill me with words unspoken

Standing before the Almighty
His judging eyes before me
"You have not served Me
Nor is your name in the Book
I cannot accept you." 
I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't know!

I turn away, filled with shame
I catch your eye in the crowd
Your eyes full of guilt
Why did you stay silent?
You've killed me with words unspoken
