Check.
You messaged me and I didn't respond.
Check.
I called you and it went straight to voicemail.
Check.
I texted you and you responded right away.
Check.
I reached for your hand.
Check.
You leaned in for a kiss.
Mate.

I think that this piece is an example of how small pieces of poetery, though small, can say alot. I think that this is very creative and different. I liked it! Please make sure that you check out my poem 'Abused'!
