Unspokens (Poem)

By Alessa

---

“Hey!”

“Hiii”

Silence fills the room

“Sooo done anything exciting recently?”

“Nope... life’s been pretty ordinary heh...”

Words begin to flood my mind,

There are so many things I want to say to you,

But I can never seem to focus on one word,

One thought.

I can feel the silence

Slowly closing in.

I clear my throat,

You look up,

And for a minute our eyes lock.

You try for a grin.

I attempt a smile.

More silence.

Suddenly,

You shoot up,

Mumbling excuses.

Desperate to get away from here,

From me.

And before I can even say goodbye,

You’ve vanished-

And I’m still here,

With all my unspokens.
