You said you'd never hurt me, I guess you never tried, but staring at my phone screen, I'm thinking that you lied. I'm staring at my phone screen, my eyes are full of tears, I'm staring at my phone screen, I haven't cried in years. I'm staring at my phone screen, hoping you will call, but staring at my phone screen, my heart begins to fall. I'm staring at my phone screen, and all I've got to say, staring at my phone screen I'll think of you night and day.

I hope people will be able to relate to the inspiration for my poem, that it's hard to move on past some things, but not impossible!
