Devoid of Emotion

All of a sudden, at the click of a button.
We can change what tomorrow will bring.
Sometimes it is sad, sometimes it is happy.
It can make the heart cry, or it sing.

In the world of today, when you text what you say.
Your emotions can get misconstrued.
And the line in between can get in the way.
If they think that you are being rude.

Some people find it too easy.
To tell you to go blank yourself.
It's not very nice, kind of sleazy.
Then we end up alone on a shelf.

Those lines in between can seem really mean.
But that's not what they meant at all.
And that magic button can erase the screen.
Leaving nothing but a cold blank wall.

But I want to say, if she come's this way.
That I have nothing but love.
And that she is such a sweet angel.
That God has sent from above.
