It’s a coward’s way
of rejection, like
the boy who breaks up with you
by ignoring you and never telling you
he already moved on
or
the company that can’t bother
to hit send on a template email that says
sorry, better luck next time
or
you have no future
in whatever your this is.
Truth is hard.
Silence is worse.
I wish I could
not care.
But I can’t
not.
