Message Has Been Seen

You’re much too proud to answer Don’t want to appear too keen But every single message sent Has a check mark…meaning “seen”! Won’t start up conversations You won’t ask me how I’ve been You keep it all under wraps But my messages are…..”seen”! You won’t come out and say it But I know you’ve checked the screen You answer what’s in my eyes For my messages you’ve “seen”! Sometimes I get so angry I resolve myself to wean From writing all my feelings… But then the message comes…”seen”! And so I keep on writing Though you TRY to act so mean At the end of every day All my messages are…..”seen”! Eileen Manassian Ghali
