#notification
There is a light that comes from the telly,
Sometimes the moon shines in the night,
But not a flicker from the table,
No message pops up in the chat.
I wonder when the time is coming,
When does the blink mean less than that?
I circle back, afraid of something—
Not getting any, and yet getting some.

Everytime you see my name light up on your
phone what do you say?
Like what the H she won't !
Or do you say it's her again?
Or do you be like leave me the f alone
Well let me tell you what I think when you see me and I get no reply:
I feel like I'm bothering you and I'm trying to hard to hear from you because I can't stop my mind from racing....
I miss you and all I want is you to tell me you miss me and you want me around I know your dealing without but do you know I can't stop thinking of you I try to move I am texting someone but I only want you
I try to ease my pain because I don't know if you will ever come back and I miss you I know upset it's my fault.
You probably laugh and talk about me to your friends I don't know what you do I just want stop the little people in my head to stop talking to me saying negative things about you.
Or are they true about what they are saying in my head ?
Help me say something

A constant stare, while its on the table
Not a blink from me, I feel unstable
I hear nothing, no sudden vibration
No flickering, no notification
On the palm of my hand
A sense of you getting closer
My words were not planned
I'm sorry, please say its not over
Feeling numb
Exhausted and stupid
A destroyer of good
A demolisher of cupid
Thought of loosing you is crippling
Can't bear my thoughts, its sickening
End my agony, let me explain
I need to feel you, or will go insane.

You've got mail
Is it weird that I want to hear that again
Not
you have a notification
but mail
Waking up and running to the mailbox
heart pounding with excitement and fear
is your letter here yet
That one thought
everyday
carrying my little legs
racing
in the hopes that I would see your handwriting
and when that letter finally came
like a squirrel with a prized nut
I race away to the safety of my bed with
a flashlight
some poptarts
and pages of your letter
So happy
that I have a friend like you.

I thought it was you
When my phone buzzed
And the notification popped up
I thought it would be you
I always think it's you
I always hope
But it never is
And I'm left here to wonder
Why I wait for it anyway
When I know it will never be you

Here I go again;
putting you to the forefront of my mind.
pushing these words back and back, endlessly
...simply because you opened your eyes.
is beauty more important than art?

sometimes when
no one checks
the group chat
for awhile and
there’s no one
else on-
it feels like you’re
just talking in an
empty theatre- waiting.
waiting for anything.
a “read” notification,
a typing bubble-
a sign that you’re
not alone-
anything...

By sharing my poem on this site,
It is easy to lose what I write.
So focused on notification,
I forget all about application.
Even when I share this ink,
My automatic response is to think
Of how many views or likes it may get.
Soon enough my own message I forget!
May I never lose a poem again,
From now until forever. Amen.

Without your presence my room was dark,
Whenever I close my eyes, I felt irony black shade without seeing your snap,
Even my mobile screen was dark without your message,
Entire heavenly body was ebony without you !!
Then you came like a twinkling star of my room, my world !
When I get notification of your text !

I love when my phone lights up.
Calls, texts, notifications.
I love to see when someone cares enough to check on me,
To see how I am,
To love me.
I love when my phone lights up,
Because I've gotten much too good at memorizing the darkness.
