A Texted Life

You never returned my text
Im so offended
My phone lays stagnant 
Acting all independant

How dare you not answer
As i stare at blank screen
I thought we were friends
Guess things arent what they seem

Why did you not text me
Has your phone found another
Ive always answered yours
Whenever you bother

I think we should meet
And talk face to face
So we both dont assume things
And text words of disgrace

You see how technology
Has removed social skills
To the point friendships are lost 
To what texting has killed.

Thank you Nette, i appreciate your comment. Its so true people are looking into their phones more than looking into the eyes of someone. I like eyes better, always have. Blessings my friend, Carl
