Delivered not considered
Accidental sent text

The message said delivered at like twenty to three am
I didn't expect it to go through, but that's just me- again
I was embarrassed coz I thought it would float blue like normal
But no, it got delivered- and since l've been in turmoil
Coz it's probably another black mark against my name
This whole year of 2024 l've been insane
I really must have blown it for your wrath
I didn't think I'd ever be privy to the perceived lack of empath-y
Your coldness like frostbite- ice ice baby
I think I was in denial for a while coz I kept thinking maybe
You would call and say sorry or maybe hey
But it's been too long now, what would you say?
Well what if we made a pact to not talking about the end
And just focused on what we have been up to instead?
Honestly, I think I've figured the whole dynamic out
And trust me I know what you're about
And it's okay because I have no doubt
That your actions
And my reactions
Were done in fright mode (me)
And you in flight- bang off you go you see
Delivered not considered
I want to live life- non Je regrette rein- no regrets
And that's why I'm hedging all my bets
So that one day when we are both old and senile
We look back on it with a smile
Instead of feeling sad Or a bit mad
That the friendship we made
Whatever that means, was paid
With fondness and respect
Instead of doubt and suspect

I am a mother of two boys, a librarian and a poet.
I hope to make some poetry connections here and maybe even have it as a side hustle. I do it for the cathartic release I get from writing it.
I write about love, friendship and ADHD.
