This Is Our Life Now

I fear you can no longer see me
The blue glare from your screen
A small device
Potent enough to develop a wide divide

 

I sit across from you or by your side
A flash of bare thigh to tempt your eye
Yet they remain steadfast
Lovingly at that to the little white screen balanced on your lap

 

A few minutes pass in silence
A chirp awakens you from your reality static
A flurry of fingers across the screen
Yet your lips remain frozen with not even a whisper for me

 

I\'m always there, a burden to bear
My presence not worthy of your time
I sit and I wait as the loneliness grows
The divide ever growing right alongside your damn profile

 

I glance across to you
Witness your smile caused by some picture or dumb comment someone made online
You agree with what I\'m saying but hell,
You\'re not even listening to my praying

 

We\'re on this road together now
This is our life now
Man and wife
And that fuckin\' mobile phone
