I thought you died
but you were only incommunicado
You said you cared
but you meant at a higher, intangible level
I thought we were in the “communications” era
and I just realized
you were speaking volumes to me all along
telling me all sorts of jokes all along
calling to know about me all along
texting, emailing me all along
ah, silly me!
hearing impaired me!
old dumb me!
not realizing, all this time
you’ve been communicating alright
through SILENCE.

Hehe, a friend of mine told me yesterday how this guy who hadn’t called her in months, actually said he’d been intentionally communicating through silence. After a gasp and a big laugh, I thought this gutsy individual deserves to be immortalized in writing. Damn he’s good! 
The “guy” ought to be highly evolved to communicate silently. Amazing…Honestly, even I try to do it occasionally (convey thoughts without speaking) but I never admit to it.
Nice poem
Hehe. Silence is definitely a form of communication. What I find funny is that someone would try to use this as an excuse to actually disappear from someone’s life. Brilliant, if you can actually get a dog to bite that bone!
