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?! *** Blackmatta
