Sitting solo
in a crowded room,
glancing at all the people-
groups of friends, couples-
and I can't help but feel alone.
Then I think of you.
I'd love to talk to you,
conversations with you brighten up my day.
So I send you a message
and await your response.
Seconds go by
then minutes
then hours.
Maybe you're busy,
I'll wait a little longer.
Nothing.
I know you're not at work
and I just saw a recent post from you.
So your phone works and you're alive
but you can't reply?
Why?
Was it something I said?
Just tell me then.
Don't leave me feeling worthless.
Perhaps I'm better off
without someone who makes me feel
ignored.
