No Contact

No Contact So abrupt she was Without any notice, rhyme or reason She ignored and ghosted me All contact severed All links dead. A month Now two, six have gone A year has passed Silence becomes my companion I get on with life, my career and my hobbies. I have given up The silence at first deafening Now I grow accustomed I have given in And have now started to delete All memories and contact information To my surprise She reaches out today And sends me a message And wants to contact and get back together. I remain silent, I do not reply As I now have grown accustomed to no contact Because you taught me, no contact is my best reply.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Sigh.. This poem actually feels like speaking in the voice of my soul as well.. Having been in such situation, I can deeply resonate with the ache that comes associated with it.. And when they come suddenly, wanting to reconnect.. Our hearts grow out of fondness & get accustomed to the situation of 'no contact' as it seems to be more comfortable and stable than making promises & then being left out in the cold.. Sigh, this one made me so emotional..

A flower exudes fragrance, judging not the recipient of its love, for it wishes not to lessen its stature.
