Chapter 9 - Deactivated accounts

We used to talk

Like it was fate

Like time had paused

Just for our name

Silly answers

To the silliest things

Now I scroll in silence—

No more pings

I feel...

You're never

Coming back from the dark

You and I—

Had ten days of sparks

Now I see nothing but

A full stop in my heart

We used to talk

Like the stars had aligned

Like midnight knew

You were mine

Silly problems

For a silly us

Now those days

Collect dust

I know...

You were never

Really meant for me

You and I—

Flickered and ceased

Now I see nothing but

A ghost in my feed

Would you return

And give me back my smile?

Would you burn

That diary with our trials?

I said I'd wait

But how long is that worth?

I needed your words

To anchor my earth

But now I see—

Deactivated accounts

And silence that shouts

Will I ever see you again?

I know the answer

It's not.
