Radio silence

I'm opening my phone

To nothing 

No messages, no emails, no missed calls,

All I'm getting is radio silence 

 

The sinking feeling in my heart returned

The one where you know something is wrong

Without knowing something is wrong

Because all I'm getting is radio silence 

 

My friend tucked my hair behind my ear

It reminded me of the static

I couldn't explain why I started crying 

I couldn't explain the radio silence 

 

My eyes are tired from staring at my phone too late

My mind is tired from trying to think through this

I'm tired from literally nothing plaguing my life

I'm tired of the radio silence.

    Retract and hide

    I've recently found myself back in my shell

    Pretending to be someone I'm not

    And I think I know why.

     

    I've pulled back from people 

    Only interacting with animals and strangers online

    It's dark out now.

    Stinging my eyes

    The tears come

    Pouring down

    Relentlessly.

    Still breathing 

    Still warm

    Yet dead 

    To me

    And me alone.

    Grief floods me

    Again 

    I'm drowning
