no effort
not where it shows
just “i’m sorry”
sent hours later
like time doesn’t matter
promises about tomorrow
next week
“i’ll make it up to you”
that never actually happens
plans that get pushed back
or forgotten
like they were never real to begin with
i’m the one checking my phone
seeing you active
but not answering
typing
deleting
waiting
always waiting
no calls first
no “i miss you”
unless i say it first
and even then
it feels repeated
not meant
when we do talk
it’s short
rushed
like i’m interrupting something
like i’m something you fit in
between everything else
half-attention
half-effort
half of something
i kept calling love
and the apologies
they don’t land anymore
they sound the same
feel the same
fix nothing
because nothing actually changes
and i think that’s what hurts
not just the lack of effort
but realizing
i kept giving everything
to someone
who was okay giving me almost nothing
