i'm not sure whether this is finished yet, but right now i thought i should post it. i might end up coming back and editing it. its quite a thinky poem, but hope you enjoy 


I open message number one
So it can be erased
I see the things you wrote, my eyes read on and on
 
They’re now just empty words, much to my distaste
The love I knew has since long gone
I wish I were unfazed
 
My heart explodes I shout and cry, I’ve done it it’s erased
But oh my god what have I done?
Please help me flee this painful maze
 
 
I open message number two
So it can be erased
I see the things you wrote, my eyes read on and on
 
They’re now just empty words, much to my distaste
The love I knew has since long gone
I wish I were unfazed
 
My heart explodes I shout and cry, I’ve done it it’s erased
But oh my god what have I done?
Please help me flee this painful maze
 
 
I open message number three
So it can be erased
I see the things you wrote, my eyes read on and on
 
They’re now just empty words, much to my distaste
The love I knew has since long gone
I wish I were unfazed
 
My heart explodes I shout and cry, I’ve done it it’s erased
But oh my god what have I done?
Please help me flee this painful maze
 
 
I open message number four
So it can be erased...

I'm not sure about this one...I love the idea and the repetition has the potential to be really effective, but the rhyme scheme seems a little forced. the rhythm's good but i think you can afford to lose some words for the sake of flow. 
 
keep working on it :)
