Unwritten Absence Contest
An unfilled room, a plot line that ends
Becoming redundant whilst no one defends
Chaos created in an unoccupied space
Dread that meanders but cannot be traced
Errors uncovered yet remain unknown
Failing but maintaining a fake happy tone
Grabbing attention, having nothing to say
Healing but tearing the scab away
Inventing a reason to qualify existence
Jocoserious puns that require assistance
Keeping a promise that was built on a lie
Liking a poem created by AI
Masking emotions to keep the peace
Needing a minute after arguement ceased
Opening an email when contents are blank
Publicly smiling when your heart sank
Quietly seething but never explaining
Reeling emotions but words keep on taming
Silently expressing an unspoken thought
Time that escapes when you're feeling distraught
Unwritten absence leading to pain
Vexed as driving wrong direction, wrong lane
Wanting the answers when unaware of the question
Xenodochial companions creating indigestion
Yes people meaning connection untrue
Zeitgeist emptiness current world view
