Pet hates

Texting

I hate to text, I hate to message
The world's blessing is my wreckage
I think too much about what people don't see
Why do I put myself through this grief

Lost thought, lost feeling
No emotion, wrong meaning
Many queries, many fears
Mind runs, eye tears
Broken heart, broken soul
Mind's power, heart's toll

When we talk the conversation teems
But I rather in person than staring at screens
Left on read, seen them active
My mind bubbles, it's radioactive
Are they ignoring me, are they too busy
Someone please tell me if I'm being silly
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
I need solitude, a place to reside
Your comforting words always make me
But in a text they seem crappy
Are you alright? Are you okay?
Yes, I'm fine. So how's your day?
Ask me in person and I'd let loose
Tell you everything, down to my roots
In person that could mean a thousand things
Stare into your eyes, ease my brain, it's comforting
