No Communication
by Ian

Every morning we wonder if the answer has arrived.
Most days there's nothing here and we shed a silent tear.

We write because we want to and long for replies from her.
But she has every right to give us a sleepless night.

Did we write down what we meant? Did she understand our thoughts?
No communication will lead to isolation.

Please write as soon as you can because we worry about you.
Others have feelings too. We have feelings towards you.

Every morning I wonder if the answer has arrived.
Most days there's nothing here and I shed a silent tear.

I write because I want to and long for replies from her.
But she has every right to give me a sleepless night.

Did I write down what I meant? Did she understand my thoughts?
No communication will lead to isolation.

Please write as soon as you can because I worry about you.
Others have feelings too. I have feelings towards you.
