i’m sorry
if i didn’t
reply to
your post
i read it
i hearted
i tried to
i started
i added insights
that i meant
(from the limited list available)
but my reply
it was spent
before it
had barely
scrambled out
from underneath
beleaguered thoughts
a headful
of swirling
nonsense
a headful
of busy reality
i’m so sorry
that i
did not
leave a comment
i read it
and enjoyed it
and the idea
that i
toyed with
was a
simple reply
to say
“real nice”
and maybe “hi”
i opened the reply
and then shut it!
Sometimes an emoji
don’t cut it!

Sometimes, we just don't know what to say or maybe we just don't have the energy to say anything. Please know that it is completely okay!
Omgsh. Me too. Every good intention and then, I drop the ball. Good to know I'm not alone in this, but love the interaction when it connects
this is super!!
Lol, I hope no one holds this against people. I certainly don't! Totally get it. I do the same thing. Also, cool photo! Like a window hit a brick wall. Peering in, only to be blocked rather violently. This! Love this bit: "i opened the reply and then shut it! Sometimes an emoji don’t cut it!" You write poems even when you're not really writing poems. Too cool! I envy your brain sometimes, lol.
I wasn’t gonna comment - nice 👍🏻
