Distracted Out Love

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when published

I’m alone on this crowded train
Yet I’m next to my love.
The day has grown old again
Home beckons as the shadows long.
We walked the park full of strangers
with their loves distracted.
I wondered, are they here or there?
Where do they wish to be?
Alas my love too is captured by glass
Scrolling away this embrace.
I feel his warmth now in my grasp
His stare is cold, blank.
If I blink, the moment is lost
Never to get it back.
Has he counted the cost
To feed on what distracts?
What is it you see?
What is it you want?
What is it you need?
I will give it freely!
Why waist love by your side?
Let’s conquer the world!
Or take it all in stride.
Together, let’s just be
You and me.
