You send messages
to someone
and all you get is silence
saying something to someone
and you get silence
this is online
if it were in person
and that person ignored you
and kept ignoring you
You maybe you might feel a bit different
maybe you’ d feel worse
but ignoring is ignoring
and because it’s online
they think might be easier to ‘ blank you ‘
doesnt mean it’s fair
I get silence from messages I send
even tho I havnt done anything wrong
I’m not annoying for sending messages or a nuisance
But all they do is sit there
and .. silence
guess they either won’t be reply .. at all .. ever
or they’ll reply
whenever they feel like it
…
I havnt done anything wrong
not my fault they keep ignoring me
I’m not annoying
their problem
not mine

A fave for both the poem and the processing you did to write it. I know the HARD WORK such processing is and then to memorialize it, honor it, and put it out there for others to see that work. A FAVE. And, you know what? You are right! You are not annoying. The people who are annoyed with and ignoring you are the annoying ones, right? But, instead of being annoyed, you processed and wrote and released. Well done! You are both a great poet and an insightful person, my friend. 🌹👏
Well , ignoring can be triggering .. yeah ignoring can be annoying but maybe they simply don’t wish to communicate at all .. maybe that’s why I’ve receiving no reply .
I sometimes wander if me havjng sending messages is unfair ( considering they havnt replied in a while . I guess part of me wishes for a reply .. so I send another message yet still no reply . I guess it’s like avoidance , really .
If they choose not to reply , they choose not to reply .. can’t do that much about it
Thankyou very much ))
In my opinion, for what it's worth, if they don't want to communicate it is on them to communicate that to you. That is not on you to read their minds. I, like you, do try to see both sides of everything. A very good trait that I wish more humans did. Anywho, at this point though, your conclusion is right: If they choose not to reply , they choose not to reply .. can’t do that much about it. Their silence, sadly, is their answer. That said, I do not think you were wrong for messaging them. You did that because you care.
You are most welcome, my friend. Sending you ❤️ and 🙏
A sensitive write, it's not nice to be ignored but it has happens, you have taken a negative and turned it into a positive by writing this , nicely done
No , your right it isn’t nice .. it can either feel like rejection ie they don’t want to know anymore .. or avoidance .. for whatever reason ignoring can be a trigger for some people .
And I won’t feel bad for having sent this person messages
They’ ve also lied to me about things before aswell
Thankyou very much )) and i appreciate your support on my poems
You are very welcome
Ghosting a person has many meanings and everyone takes it different. We live in a world where we are expected to make immediate responses. I grew up in a different world where there were no cell phones, beepers, or internet. People wrote letters or if you made a phone call and no one answered you called later. Response time could be hours, days of months later so it doesn't bother me if I get no response unless it is an emergency. A great poem
I don’t expect a immediate response but this person hasn’t replied in quite a while .. and it’s constant ignoring .. he does what he wants ..
Well constant ignoring makes me think they either don’t want to know you .. or are avoiding you for some reason . No .. I don’t like it . I try and be nice I still get ignored .
When I get ignored repeatedly, as I do, I chalk it up to them not wanting to talk but don't ascribe reasons as to why. Could be they are angry or hate me, maybe they are busy, possibly they are dead or out of touch, or it is just not important to them. What ever it matters not because there is little else I can do.
Yeah .. I think I can get insecure tho and I think because I used to talk to them a lot and at one point we did get on well ( or I thought we did ) but then it went a bit weird .. I guess maybe part of he misses talking to them
But Thankyou
Yeah there can be different reasons
Sometimes, in moments of greater sensitivity, I can relate to this text. The coldness of indifference to the impetus of my humble message. Excellent! Thanks for sharing! Best regards.
Thankyou .. I think it could be taken as someone just being quiet and not wishing to talk .. or that their being rude .. I wander if me sending messages has just been a bit annoying to them ( but They are the one choosing to ignore and it isn’t my fault
It’s sad really .. I used to talk to this person a lot ( online ) quite a while back .. I guess things can change between people ( sometimes
Appreciate the kind comment
We can be sensitive to ignoring sometimes .. yea
