Alone Together
Holding it between your hands
The battery is full
The WiFi is working well
Your index finger moves from here
to there, scrolling up
scrolling down
You hold it... like a baby
You love it... like a lady
***
The world is running
And you are here
Still and idle
Texting... chatting... tweeting
There is a heart waiting for you
There is a soul needing you
There is LIFE... calling you
outside there!
***
Have you tried to have a look?
Open the window
Open the door
Open your heart like a shore
Afraid to face it
Or afraid to leave it
You're hiding behind your avatar
And crying behind your smile
***
We've become alone together
Sitting in the same room
Breathing the same air
We are physically here
But not emotionally
In solitude, looking wistfully to each other
Wondering if we already have a life...
What are we doing online?!
