GOODBYE IS THE GREETING, SILENCE IS THE SENTENCE, FAREWELL IS THE FULLSTOP

Poem composed on July 22, 2009

2 participants in a chat window

Xxxxx Xxxxxxx , Xxxxx Xxxxxxx

Xxxxx Xxxxxxx: Xxxxx…
Xxxxx Xxxxxxx: Xxxxx…

The chat window popped out and she typed in his name. He responded by typing her name back and then the chat was over. No one felt the need to add any statement. No one felt the need to ask any questions. It was all there is.

Brisk and brief
Cold and confused
Lost and lonely

Longing but not looking
Missing but not meeting
Wanting but not waiting

Goodbye is the greeting
Silence is the sentence
Farewell is the fullstop

Style of poem: No rhyming this time, just alliteration. This poem is about two individuals who chat online but the only thing they did was type in each other’s name… between them things are not working and thus so they really do not know what to say to each other because there is nothing else left to say. They are at lost for words… and emotion...
