A Relationship Inside a Black Rectangle

instead of going back

and forth between a screen

i wish you’d tell me

exactly what you mean

i wanted so badly

to be a part of your life

yet you’d fall quiet

so as to imply

you don’t feel the same way

why not let me know

you only made me hurt harder

yet you learned no lessons

a comforting black rectangle

freed you from any obligations

just letting me know

would have made me feel better

instead of going back

and forth about pleasures

my words echo

inside a black rectangle

ignored, meaningless

because i love you
