LONESOME LOVERS

Lovers of loving

Seekers of connection

We love us in loneliness

Spoiled with words of affection

Can we handle the distance?

Can we handle the void?    

Will we manage to see us 

Beyond all filters of gold?

Can we cut through the delusion

Of fake makeup app diffusion

Of false promises and social fears

Without a breakdown into tears?

Or do we gift us that dream

Pretending to be seen

Like perfect lovers

On a movie screen?

Until one day 

My phone dies

And with it

does our 

Love.
