Sadness comes
and feelings get hurt
when there is no acknowledgment
no response
just the dead silence
of nothingness
it wears on the soul
it troubles the mind
as if you do not count
as if you do not matter
how cruel it is
to not say something
even a one word reply
would suffice
give solace
but to ignore completely
as if one does not even exist
that is the lowest feeling of all
you cannot patch the wound
you cannot unhurt
a broken heart.
