Guess who? It'll say... Starts the same every day. Or something akin,
Each text with this bland, inviting greeting...
Trying to engage her in conversation. [Usually when we're eating!]
Oh, the fun you have watching a film with someone who isn't there-
Face buried in a keypad, or else a waiting, vacant stare...
Forever longing for the vibration, that little reassurance gem,
The one that tells her she's the only one with any friends.
Hell, I mean no harm when I talk this way...!
Every.second of every.minute of every.single.day
Buried in the mechanics of a touch screen phone,
Love it when you're out, on it when you're home.
Obviously, I'm rejected because it's not me you want,
On the screen are those words (just a disguised taunt..)
Don't know what they say though, you never let me see...
Yes, I am aware that I'm making myself the enemy.
Put it down once though, so we can just co-exist?
Honour the rare moments when I'm not actually dismissed?
Okay, I'll leave now. So you can talk about me to him...,
Needing solace in a screen linking to a name on a whim.
Eventually, I'll learn my lesson, and I'll just leave you alone...
{But for now, I live with the fact that I know nobody's home.}
