describe awkward silence
OLynn

. . .

I don't know

if this

is working anymore. - 21:04

I wait for you to say

something. Anything.

It's radio silence on my end.

I know you've seen it

on your phone screen;

you check for notifications

every other minute

when we're together.

No reply.

It's as though you never cared,

but I knew that already.

Our shared glances

and shy smiles

have turned to blank stares

and a tilt of the head.

Our instant replies

have become spaced out

by hours on end,

not even bothering

to form sentences anymore.

Ok. - 01:30

I stare at my screen

until it dims,

and eventually fades to black.
