The Rambler and the Reader
[Rambler]
I write again—
too many words,
stacked like bricks
in towers no one asked for.
[Reader]
I read each one,
smiling quietly,
wondering how…
he still has something new to say?
[Rambler]
My messages pile up,
like small confessions—
poems,
jokes,
half-stories—
a subtle chaos, waiting.
[Reader]
They fill the spaces
between my days,
moments stolen at work,
scrolling quietly through his rambling lines.
[Rambler]
Sometimes, silence comes,
and I worry—
did she tire of my rambles?
Did my words become noise?
[Reader]
Sometimes I pause,
just to watch him squirm,
loving the small tension—
I imagine in his waiting.
[Rambler]
Every poem is a tether—
pulling gently,
hoping she reads deeper than the words I type.
[Reader]
Every word feels personal,
a puzzle left just for me—
does he realize…
how clearly he speaks in these unspoken ways?
[Rambler]
I never know how much
to hold back,
how much truth
can fit between line breaks and metaphors.
[Reader]
I never know how much
to tell him,
how his rambles settle softly,
changing the shape of my days.
[Rambler & Reader]
And yet, we continue:
words stacking,
lines scrolling,
rambles written,
messages read—
[Rambler]
“Because there's always more to say.”
[Reader]
”Because there's always more I want to hear.”
