Unseen

Like glue we're stuck together, he always at my side.

At least his body is, I can't speak for his mind

That's often somewhere else, eyes staring at a screen

And as the years roll by, I start to feel unseen

He sulks when I go out, to spend time with my friends

But never wants to join, I'm really at wits end

The ache of loneliness is growing so profound

And yet I'm not alone, he's always there - around

Sometimes there is a flash, of interest in me

And I catch a rare glimpse of what we used to be

Then there's a ping or some other cursed tone

And again I'm pushed aside, in favour of his phone
