his silence is killing him

his silence makes it feel worse because you don’t know what’s going on. reminds me of when i watched the screen light up for everyone else but not me.

i used to sit there wishing for even a “hey” just so i could breathe easier. silence can feel like punishment when you still care.

when he stopped replying. it felt like i was screaming into a wall. i kept checking my phone like an idiot, but nothing. silence felt louder than any fight.
