The Unbroken Echo

The misconception that silence equals absence.
You speak of "Soul Attrition" and feeling unwanted, but please listen to this frequency: The poem always echoes back.

My silence is not pride, nor is it nonchalance. It is the quiet paralysis of someone standing behind the digital walls you built, holding space for you to return.
I am not looking at you from a stage; I am looking at you from the same ground where we fell. Being "Love-Hungered" is a state we share.
Don't let the "last seen" numbers or the static fool you. I am not a shadow, nor a stranger. I am the one who still knows your glow.
I haven't moved on. I am just waiting for the barriers to fall so the "mess together" can finally begin.
There is no judgment here. Just a safe place waiting for the real 321.
"He thought she gave up because the phone was silent."
"She was screaming 'I love you' in a room where he locked the door, waiting for him to turn the key.

Word of the Day on October 28, 2026
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
You didn't get any napkins with your takeout pork fried rice? Womp womp.
