SMS

I haven't said much of anything
aside from a few text messages
you haven't responded though
or maybe no response is the response
and I'm just not getting the message
but I don't like to read into anything
so maybe I'll wait to hear from you
how does that sound
it doesn't sound healthy
but what do you expect
you were my immune system 
so how can I be healthy 
when being without you 
makes me sick to my stomach
how can I fight infection 
without your protection 
maybe it's just my gut feeling
telling me I've made a mistake 
knowing what was at stake
now I feel so ashamed
too ashamed to say anything
aside from a few text messages
you haven't responded still
but I keep hoping one day you will
