Obsession
You have so much time for me, always within my view.
I'm the first one you gaze upon when you start the day anew.
I have a special sound I make when I think that you ignore,
Then you turn attention back to me with my simple, small implore.
You take me everywhere you go, you will not leave me out,
And if I think you've forgotten me I give a little shout.
No matter what the time of day or who your being with,
I know you will always have, for me, much more time to give.
Some people think I'm selfish and sometimes quite abrupt,
but I don't care what they think, if I want you I simply interrupt.
If you don't answer when I call I leave a message or two,
I'm sure you will turn attention to me before the hour is through.
I introduce you to family, friends and people you don't know,
some of these relationships quite spurious that will never grow.
I let you follow things they do and places that they've been,
You will mostly be on the outside looking in, part of the unseen.
The master manipulator that I am, my job is never done,
don't be fooled to think that I am yours, you're not the only one.
I'm always seeking other relationships, more people for me to own,
after all it is my job, I'm your mobile phone
