Radio Silence

 
It’s not that I don’t mind the radio silence
But rather the reasons why
Especially between us
But when choosing to give me this kind of treatment
I tend to question the true motives
And at who’s advice

Is it for punishment?
To make me overthink?
To send a deafening message that resonates in my ears?
I often find myself pondering on questions
With the only answer I can think of
“Just give it time”

I’d prepared myself for the unknowns
I thought about the consequences my actions could bring
But I never burn bridges
It’s not philosophically wise
We never know when we’ll need to cross again
It’s not rationally sound

But I hear the rushing river
And if I get thrown into the water
I’ll make my way back up the stream
Dry myself by fire and send smoke signals to remind you
I am still here
