No new messages,
although I have constantly been watching,
maybe if I turn away,
somebody might relay
something of importance my way.

Create new message,
time to choose my recipient;
carefully though this must be magnificent.
I hope you reply
I am far too shy
to even think about a phone call.

No new messages.
When should I just stop and forget it all?
When the words I write become whispers?
Or when they vanish completely?
Still i'll sit and i'll wait until the end of the day,
hoping my mind does not fray
the anticipation can't help me stay
sane for very much longer.

No new messages; finally I snap.
I've reached my tethered end,
I've started to crack.
Listen to me please,
I don't like to recap,
You've now got five minutes
and if you don't text me back...

1 new message,
quick now what does it say?
Its from my network provider,
there's new deals this coming May.
Thank you network provider
you've really ruined my day.
