Direct Message

Maybe I speak for all of us when I say
I have had entire relationships
live and die inside of a Direct Message
Not just one but several
Little beams of light
Vibrating notifications
False hope
Adrenaline flatlined
But isn’t it strange how nothing about them feels Direct
Their flash sends serotonin straight to my veins and the high is real but somehow feels Far Away
Like maybe all of it happened but to someone else in the other room
