Your voice resonates in my mind
Even after the phone went blind
I don’t know when I heard it last
For it seems far in the past
My lost soul, you, I seek to find
A gentle flutter in my heart
that of a little butterfly
At the thought of your name
And at our memories, all the same
It skips a little beat
Knowing this distance apart
I fear it may even stop a little bit
I stare blankly
At this little black device
And it’s even darker screen
Wondering if all this is wise
Embracing it tightly in my hands
Anxious about future plans
I give out a soft smirk
For, I know it doesn’t realize
The warmth of my embrace
Treasured and cherished
One that people long for
yet only such phones score
I await with unease
with a tighter grasp
at my suspended life
and the black device
a fervent glance
in an unknown daze
at the dark screen in place
Haven’t you realized?
You aren’t here
I need you near
And I had held you dear
Why did you think
I had no fear
Just by your glance
From your car’s rear?
I stare blankly
For there isn’t illumination
Yet I see
In my eyes,
My very own illusions.
