Internet dating

Click click click
The way we write a sound
a sound we know
a sound we know too well
click
scroll
click
forever an icy glow
unnatural light turning us pale
click click click
and the photos show no evidence
we waste
We want to touch
but we wouldn't dare
So click click click
on little pixels we can't hold
Bodies that we seek to satisfy
growing numb
because we won't touch
only click
Sometimes we're brave
and we'll tap tap tap
instead of click click click
And if we're really daring
we'll click and then speak
But most of us just click
click click click
until our bodies are too numb to click
and we feel
if only the lonely tears on our cheeks
