drift away

you get a call, but you're
sleeping, so
you call
back the next day.
nothing.
no text. no message.
nothing.
you sigh
and go on about your life.
it's hard for people
to talk
to one another. it never
goes well.
so much to say that is never
said.
so silence suits
them better.
why bother talking,
why try to work things
out, make peace,
when it's easier to just
be silent,
and drift away.
