Cherish me

I click on the email icon
My eyes want to see your name in the inbox
and my chest knots up while the computer creeps
and shows me
nothing

I will settle for a reply from any HR office
for the many I send
anyone
my heart sinks
nothing

So I go back and forth doing home things
and whenever I come to the computer and click again
hoping
just a forwarded forward from no one but from you
nothing

and so my sad day wears on
fifty sixty times a day
wishing for something from you
hoping you care enough to send me a line but
nothing

and when you come home
you dont even know
you dont even see
how sad I have been for so many days, I am
nothing
