Matthew Doyle Poet I do not know?

Mocking, Flashing, Little Bar On Screen

Surrounded by blank opportunities missed, 
Missing and lost
The stream of thoughts drying up to a trickle 
And all they can do is focus on nothing, on this point
That is that single 
Mocking, flashing, little bar on screen

Sleep drags at my eyelids, my head, my heart
And goes unnoticed, uncared for, unloved
Replaced by all consuming nothing

Staring at me
Mocking, flashing, little bar on screen

It stares and I stare back, defiantly loosing 
My sanity
It’s taken my heart and drunk my thoughts dry 
So now I’m left 
Sleep deprived and alone 
And then it hits me again and again and again the flicker of
Mocking, flashing, little bar on screen

And I’ve had it I give up, it wins
So now I go, to dream of nod
And to forget 
One more night spent
With that 
mocking , 
flashing, 
little 
bar 
on
screen

To be fair it’s not as bad as that bloody paperclip
