Low-Bringing Silence: Romantic ConTEXTing Rhyming Haiku Lament

She’s been solo for/
so long, she can’t fathom how/
low silence brings me.

You won’t call after. /
I know it seems like cheating./
I feel the same way.

At tonight’s event,/
you can wish I was in your/
party, partying.

Or
Tonight, at dinner,/

I’m leaving today/
for Amsterdam. Come you may;/
at least, if you can.

We can leave today/
for Amsterdam. We’ll go Dutch./
At least, that’s my plan.

She’ll read others’ words./
Poems, prose, verse written before./
Her’s are not enough.

I love connecting./
She doesn’t. Dealbreaker? No./
It makes progress tough.

When you make mistakes/
and get no response, just hope/
and trust you’re not done.

Old songs, sung with deep/
passion and feelings, make no/
sense in new contexts.

What’s your limit? Your/
magic number? When you reach /
it, how will you know?
