I measure my worth
by the texts you’ve sent
and the texts you replied.
Every one I’ve sent
that weren’t replied
is a demerit,
a subtraction,
of the tiny hopes
the merit points have built.
Like hitting a snake on the game
(there are no ladders though)
and every lack of words from you
is that awful step that slips
down.
And though I hope to climb up again
slowly
I think I wish more than that
for this game to end.
(Or maybe not.)
