I'm so tired of text on a screen

This isolation is killing me

I miss hearing your voice

Or just hearing your sigh

While sitting in silence

In our own separate worlds

But at least in the same room

I'm scared of who I'm becoming

After months left alone

And I wonder

If you would even care

If, when this is all over

I continued to be alone

Out of the way

Text on a screen

Maybe call me sometime

So I can be a little selfish

And feel a little less alone

Or just leave a message

That I can put on repeat

When things get a little too dark

And a little too scary

For me to handle by myself
