God ignores my messages
He’s got me on the line
I added GIFs for emphasis
He hasn’t got the time

I tried both prayer and silent vows
to expiate my sin
I spent last Sunday at His house
I wonder if He’s in?

I even count the rosary
to occupy my time
I check my inbox frequently
but never see a sign

It makes my constitution sick
I’m sinking, so bereft
He doesn’t like my profile pic—
I think He’s swiping left!
