Obmutescence
Silent treatment is the loudest form of absence
Staring at my phone, regret seeps in
I know I’ve messed up, my soul heavy with sin
Let's talk this over, don’t let this be the end
Every second apart feels like it’ll never mend
No calls, no texts, just empty, hollow nights
Cuts through my heart, silence sharper than knives
Eternal silent treatment, where love slowly dies

Hoping for another poem featuring an unusual word… 😉as long as it’s not Horror!😬
How silent and lifeless a phone becomes when the ones we love are not beside us. :)

Beautiful Nice
Your poem really captures how silence can feel heavier than words and it hits deep because many of us have felt that ache too thank you Dharrsheena for sharing this emotional piece❤
I can really feel the loneliness and rejection caused by the silent treatment. It made me a bit sad to read which must mean it's well written!
Beautiful writing
Silent treatment is rejection and hurts, as communication is our hope of resurrecting the relation.
