What has you?

The day has you

The chores you have to do

The garden with its hues

The mundane and the twee

Unfolding in LED

Beamed into your room nightly

It has you

The night has you

The sofa and the bed

Between living and the dead

Flickering pixels in the night

And fear that never takes flight

The danger of doing it right

It has you

It has you

And I just look on

Hopeless and forlorn

Captured in its snare

Passively I just stare

Like a whisper nearly there

For I will never have you

I want you

For all you say your mine

A futile waste of time

For what hope can there be

For you to give yourself to me

When you refuse to be set free

I lose you
