Oh no, I sent her a poem

This one:
A happy ending of sorts
My love in someone else’s arms
Me gliding through the warm waters at midnight, free
Frenzied young fireflies exploding in the trees like fireworks,
Millions of them
Steady glowing stars—even more of them—watching them
Like calm older siblings from above
And the smell!
Wild rose, intoxicating and invasive,
Delicious even though I know
It spells disaster
Like her perfume on you
When you’d come home to me
There was a moment went I thought I lost my friend on the dark lake
But I called for her and she was still there
The night safe again, a way home sure
If unknown
Why did I do it? No word from her. Gang, if you are contemplating sending your ex, don't do it-- a 10 on the richter scale of anxiety!

It's really well done. I read it 4 times just to enjoy it. Nicely done.
Things like this may not be the best conversation starter in a strained relationship. It's deep and emotional.
Light and easy (nonthreatening) usually is a better probe.
An non-response is a non-response, but it was read and it likely landed to some extent - just not enough to elicit a response.

She ended up responding eventually-- she said it was good but it made her feel a little bad. I was able to let it be and move to lighter banter, phew, in a way that bodes well for friendship. Fingers crossed.

Sometimes, I feel like we should really document our interactions with our exes. They would make interesting TV series.
