Only the screen light
Blue on my face
Coffee ring circles
Glowing in space
Curtains half-open
Street quiet
Still
Cursor keeps blinking
Like it knows the drill
Only the screen light
Keeping me awake tonight
All of this silence
All of this white
Only the screen light
Painting my thoughts in byte-sized lines
If I turned it off
Would I feel alright?
Tabs like torn pages
Stacked in a row
Names in the sidebar
You’ll never know
Messages unsent
Hover
Then hide
Your last "are you up?"
Pinned to the side
Only the screen light
Keeping me awake tonight
All of this silence
All of this white
Only the screen light
Painting my thoughts in byte-sized lines
If I turned it off
Would I feel alright?
Chair with the imprint
Ghost of my frame
Ash in the tray
Nobody to blame
If I killed the glow
Pulled the room tight
Would I miss you more
Or miss the light?
Only the screen light
Keeping me awake tonight
All of this silence
All of this white
Only the screen light
Painting my thoughts in byte-sized lines
If I turned it off
Would I feel alright?
