A World That's Not Real

can I turn off my computer

shut down my phone

turn off the lights

and open the blinds?

No

Because I look outside
and I see everyone pass by

Looking at their phones
Smiling at a text
Ending a phone call
Playing a game as they wait for a bus

And I think to myself

I wonder if there’s a message
Waiting for me
But I missed it when I turned off my phone

I wonder if
Someone is trying to call me
I wonder if you miss me yet
and reached out to say hello

I wonder if I jumped the gun

Maybe the break from that world
The one that strains my eyes
Till I can’t see without 
Five hundred dollar glasses

The one that numbs my brain
and I can’t write without
Missing that red line to help me
Spell the words I want to speak

It was all too soon
But will it ever not be?

I look out my window
and I see the world
For what it’s become

I see how people have changed

How they depend on a device
So small
So delicate

So important

I close the blinds
I go back to where
I put it away

I turn on my computer
and wait for my phone to
Let me in

But nothing is there
No one is there

They are all too busy
In a world that’s not
Real

Easier To Hate You

Hating you 
is easier Than loving you
Because loving you
Would mean I miss you
Missing you would mean
I still want you
And wanting you hurts 
too much to bare
Because I know you don't
Want me anymore
So hating you
Is easier than loving you

Rights and Wrongs

You never bothered to learn anything about me
You never bothered to ask how I am
You never let me console you when you were sad
You never wanted to learn who I truly am

All you got was the surface layer of me
You didn't ask what my favourite things were
While I could name all of yours in a heart beat

I tried to make things better
I tried to learn how you work

But as soon as things changed
And it was no longer about you
It was too much and you left

You made me hate myself
So much I wanted to change for you
Not for me

I cry not because you're gone
I cry because I let you do this to me

I used to count the seconds 
until you woke up
Then I could share my day with you
Start yours with me
End mine with you

Maybe it was too much
Maybe it wasn't enough

Or maybe it was all wrong
Even if it felt so right
