I see the shining blue light in the corner of my screen
The notification bubble from the texts you send me
Staring me right in my face
And with this ever present witness
It feels like your eyes are on mine
Glaring hot and unblinking
I can sense your disappointment
Knowing the words you type will never been seen
Instead they're kept in your mouth forever
Just under the tongue
Between the teeth
Saturated in your unwillingness to understand
