dead digital romance

we are in an era where
clicks show our emotions
incapable of fact
facing, we are really
hiding behind blue screens
instead of sunny blue skies.

when did reality
become so oppressive
that we don’t even want
to go outside, or live
the life we were meant to
live? break-up with feeling
bad for yourself–end the
digital addiction

standing in the middle of the sidewalk of a busy city

people drift by you
one by one
in endless waves of controlled chaos

blank expressions mask their faces
inside, hiding thoughts unknown
their world is their own.

no one looks at you.

faces buried in bright light,
searching for solace
only to be engulfed by darkness

existence fleeting.

following paths to nowhere,
black and grey draws the line
between safety and danger.

humans forgot their nature
man forgot he doesn’t need roads
women reminded them.

woken from stupor,
fumbling for memories lost
emotions erupt!

silence. I remember–

a million faces,
but i’m only looking for yours.

time, where did she go?
