As I sit and stare
Watching behind a screen
I see those little emotes and wonder
What does it all mean?
Do you honestly care?
Put forth emotion behind your text?
Do you wait anxiously
For what I have to type next?
Are you who you say
You truly are?
Though no matter how close our screens
We'll always be far.
Distance, Money, Time
All these hinder between us.
And we get on each other about these
And make a huge fuss.
Why can't we accept
That things are their own way?
That things don't seem to change
No matter what we say.
I want to be close
To hold you tight.
To calmly stroke your hair
And let you know it's all alright.
But I'm stuck here
I'm silent in my scream.
To tell you how I really feel,
But I'm stuck behind a screen.
