"He stopped replying,
can you believe,
Didn't even say he had to leave!
No goodbye or reason at all...
The nerve of that guy,
what gall!"
Yet just a week ago,
you plainly ghosted
A suitor who your interest boasted.
You left his texts seen
but unanswered,
His eager hopes completely bantered.
"That creep was so annoying
and attached,
I had to cut ties,
my patience dispatched!"
The excuse rolls quickly off your tongue,
But for others,
ghosting seems so wrong.
My friend,
we can't have double standards,
Judging others
but making our own pardons.
Let's end the ghosting,
make a new decree,
And treat all with civility.
Have the strength to send a thoughtful goodbye,
The reward will be
karma sweet as pie.
Be upfront,
reject with gentle compassion,
Then hypocrisy loses its traction!
