PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Here I am having a one sided conversation

As you lay there tight lipped

keeping your dreams to yourself

Choosing to, not share

You will not even give me

eye open contact,

I continue to stare

To add insult to injury

you cover your head and body too

exacting your rejection on me

Put me out of my misery!

Put me out of my pain!

Just press the button

I cannot take the shame.

Snuff my lights out

Disconnect my power

For you will not give me

your ear, eye, or an hour

So why should I stay alert to you

I have tried to entertain you,

by making you laugh’ cry, even

giving you a thrill, a scream,

from prime time to noon time

Now you pretend

that you do not know me

You tune me out as if I am not here

Well, maybe in the morning

when you open your eyes

Your favorite morning show

will be on my face

Then we can interact

and maybe solve a case.

So sleep on now,

watch the screen of your dreams

I will be here waiting for you

Still foolishly reaching through the airways



Your faithful television
