Ding!
That noise
It's the sound of
A text message.
Your eyes
Dart
To your phone.
Blink!
The light flickers.
Text message!
Text message!
It calls out.
Who texted you?
Who looked at their phone
And thought,
"I'll talk to them today."
What could they want to talk about?
What conversations wait ahead of you?
Your hand shaking.
Your heart racing.
You reach your phone.
Click!
You turn on your phone.
One
Unread
Message.
Is it them?
Is it that person you texted?
You waited anxiously for their reply.
Waited for what seemed like forever.
Even if it was five minutes.
Or ten.
It was long enough for you to ask
"Are they busy?"
"Are they annoyed by me?"
"Are they ignoring my texts?"
Long enough to make you doubt.
"That can't be busy."
"They must be annoyed by me."
"They must hate me!"
But now, all doubt disappears,
Because you have a text message.
You go to your messages.
You click the message.
One unread message by...
By...
Mom.
Your mom texted you.
Your heart breaks.
You fall back on your bed
And allow your phone to fall.
But then
You slowly sit up
And pick up your phone,
Because
Ignoring a text from your mom
Is a death wish.
