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
