Blue Screens

Digital excitement

Turned into relationship slumber

Don’t sleep on me

Even when the electric stops following

Love, God and work ethic is all you need

But 2K beckoned louder

Pay attention like it’s a 9-5

Though the things that give you pleasure

Won’t keep you alive


But never came to see about me

Didn’t give me the care I requested

Won’t spare the involvement that a heart needs

Now you like every post

Now you check up on me


How does the apartment feel

Without me in it?

How does your heart feel

Now that I’m gone?

How is your spirit faring

Now that I’m moving on?

Digital excitement

Turned into relationship slumber

Don’t sleep on me

Even when the electric stops following

Love, God and work ethic is all you need


No one wants to be an option

Don’t be so comfortable

That you think I’ll never leave

When you’re choosing false idols over me


Now you like every post

Now you check up on me

But in reality it’s too little too late

Like dying and realizing

You won’t make it past heaven’s gates


I have no intentions on calling you again

I don’t want to spend my free hours

Acting like I watch ESPN

You rarely tried to do anything that I liked


Now I wake up smiling

Now I sleep at night

No more glazed over eyes

Kindled by the light of blue screens



Love always, Esha ❤
