The Messenger Blues

Received and not seen
Received and not seen
No need to threat
No need to scream

Received and not read
Received and not read
No need to panic
No need to dread

Seen and no reply
Seen and no reply
Starting to wonder
Wondering why

Read and not replied
Read and not replied
Wondering why not
Knotting inside

Read an hour ago
Read an hour ago
They’re taking their time
They’re replying so slow

Read a day past
Read a day past
When will this end
How long does it last

Other person typing
Other person typing
Getting excited
My thoughts are hyping

The typing ends
The typing ends
No message received
No reply sends

Message received
Message received
Panic over
Feeling relieved

I’ll reply in time
I’ll reply in time
No need to worry
I’m sure that’s fine
