Virtual Love

Every time I hope 

to amaze you

Or at the very least

Attract your gaze.

And once it’s done

Launched into the infinite 

swallowing void of

Online

I clutch my phone

An addict endlessly 

pressing a thumb

To the symbol of a heart.

Do you love me?

Do you hear me?

Do you see me?

Maybe but

Never enough.

And then today ends

And tomorrow it will all 

begin again.
