virtual love
Every time I hope
to amaze you
Or at the very least
Attract your gaze.
And once it’s done
Launched into the infinite
swallowing void of
Online
I clutch my phone
An addict endlessly
pressing a thumb
To the symbol of a heart.
Do you love me?
Do you hear me?
Do you see me?
Maybe but
Never enough.
And then today ends
And tomorrow it will all
begin again.
