Text Me (or Not)

Text Me (or Not)

Your speech bubble 

wavers and then disappears 

as I whisper fiercely in 

Caps Lock all my secrets

to your waiting ears. And

to my great dismay, the few

times when you do care to stay, 

you only respond in crude 

type, not bothering to 

backspace the dirty words 

that you claim to be right. Please,

if you are to be so rude, just 

ghost me next time--let me 

know that you are not the one 

that I should choose.
