i tried texting her,
but my messages didn’t deliver.

i waited a few days,
but she never came around.

i tried making eye contact,
but all i saw was her hair.

i tried talking to her in class,
but she frowned upon my face.

i tried holding the door,
but she opened the one next to it.

i tried talking to her friends,
but they all shook their heads.

i tried going to sleep without her,
but the bed was too lifeless.

i tried not thinking about her,
but her voice was in my mind.

i tried not talking about her,
but her name was on my lips.
pure honey dripped. temptation.

i tried moving on,
but she’s irreplaceable.

i asked my mom,
“why did she leave all of a sudden?”

she replied sadly,
“but did you ever call her back?”

that night.
she cried.
to you.
for hours.
on the phone.
did you ever
call her back?
