Is it transactional
The way you only appear
When you seem to need me
For validation
Communication an afterthought in this unbalanced equation

Wondering if the next time
We speak
You'll snipe at me
For not agreeing
With your pessimistic way of speech

Eggshells beneath my soles
An ache deep in my soul
A day ago you sent me
A picture of things you know

Then disappeared and gave me
No acknowledgement
Told me I didn't have to say anything
When all I wanted was for you
To take an interest in my things too.
