At the end,
I sent him a "Hi?"

And he replied, but I didn't read it immediately.
Instead, I switched off my data.
Hoping that, besides "Hi, how are you?",
There would be something more.

After few hours,
The conversation remained
At the moment before I switched off my data.

Alright, I forcefully replied standard answer - "I'm fine & you?"

Few moments later,
"I have been well too.
Sorry for not texting lately."

Ahh, sorry but no explanation.
Okay, fine!
"Is there any reason that I need to know?"

"Not particularly.
Just didn't feel like texting.
No reason at all."

"Okay. Got it.
Flash in the pan right?"

Thank you for not replying after that.
So that I know I can put a full stop right there.
Even though maybe it's just me that have to deal with the aftermath.

Lullaby

It was words that I fell for
In the end, it was words that broke my heart

Can I ask you something?
Anything.
Why is it every time we say good night, it feels like goodbye?

AFRAID TO LOVE

I turn away

 and close my heart -

 to the promise of love 

 that is luring

For the past has taught 

 to not be caught, 

 in what is not worth pursuing -

To never do

 the things I've done

 that once had led to my undoing

Feelings that are indescribable in words, surprisingly I found comfort in these poetry. Beautiful piece of artwork! :')
