Just a Phone

Poem for Whispers of the Soul contest

JUST A PHONE

"It's just a phone"
I told myself
But why that dreadful feel

As I used it
More and more
Things more became surreal

I'd surf the web
For hours on end
I used it night and day

It seemed the phone
Was my best friend
My loved ones cast away

Then at last
It came to me
Once I saw the light

It had taken
All of me
That techno-parasite
