Challenge
describe awkward silence
. . .
I don't know
if this
is working anymore. - 21:04
I wait for you to say
something. Anything.
It's radio silence on my end.
I know you've seen it
on your phone screen;
you check for notifications
every other minute
when we're together.

No reply.
It's as though you never cared,
but I knew that already.
Our shared glances
and shy smiles
have turned to blank stares
and a tilt of the head.
Our instant replies
have become spaced out
by hours on end,
not even bothering
to form sentences anymore.
Ok. - 01:30
I stare at my screen
until it dims,
and eventually fades to black.
