In Zoom

In Zoom

In Zoom you’re so far away
In Zoom I don’t know what to say
You lower your eyes and shift in your seat
I shudder from my shoulders to my feet

In Zoom the world’s upside down
In Zoom you smile hides your frown
And I wonder if you’re going out tonight
The city lights are shining, so very bright

Then the internet is goes off
Time with you is not enough
Suddenly alone in the gloom
All alone in this empty room.
Next day.

I wait but you just didn’t show
I watch as my insecurities grow
Can’t concentrate till we speak again
Love transforms into a physical pain.

In Zoom the screen is jet black
In Zoom you’re never coming back
In Zoom, my heart was broken online.
In Zoom, the screen becomes a shrine.
