Glass Screen Dreams (female)

Eyes fixed

The world slips

A pixelated stream

Fingers twitch

Hearts hitch

In the glow of a glass screen dream

The sky’s still blue

The wind still hums

But who remembers sound?

Lost in the scroll

The endless scroll

Where no roots touch the ground

Glass screen dream

Oh

It’s pulling the seams

Of the world we knew

Of the world we’ve seen

Glass screen dream

Where nothing’s as it seems

A mirrored cage of someone else’s gleam

The clock hands melt

Time’s a thread

Frayed at the edges here

Chasing ghosts

Those phantom posts

They whisper in your ear

Do you feel it? The hollow weight

The static’s heavy tune

While real life waits

Patient and faint

Just outside your room

And the clouds roll by

Unnoticed and shy

While the stars go dim in the scrolling sky

Glass screen dream

Oh

It’s pulling the seams

Of the world we knew

Of the world we’ve seen

Glass screen dream

Where nothing’s as it seems

A mirrored cage of someone else’s gleam

Your face in the reflection

Warped and stretched

It bends

A thousand likes

A thousand faces

But not a single friend

The forest fades

The ocean wanes

You don’t hear them call

The world grows smaller

Smaller still

Till it’s nothing at all
