Negligence is Key

She’s said one sentence to me
in the past 72 hours.

She hasn’t hugged me,
she hasn’t talked to me,
she hasn’t even looked at me.

What have I done?

She’s talked to other people,
everyone.

Except me.

The one who’s been there for her.
The one who knows everything.
The one who knows her days of almost committing.

Yet she’s not responding to me.

“I don’t want a hug from you!”
