Connecting Through A Screen

I’m sitting here so silently,
And restless in my chair
Pouring my heart through this screen
To make others aware

To show them what it’s like inside
A heart as dark as mine
While wrapping words around my throat,
And choking, line by line

These words are more than letters;
The sum is greater than the parts
The meaning that’s inside
Is one that touches many hearts

And when these thoughts invade a mind
My soul and theirs connect
And if you choose to look inside
You’ll see how we reflect

You’re reading this right now
I’m sure you know now what I mean
It’s really not half-bad, you know,
Connecting through this screen
