LONESOME LOVERS

Lovers of loving

Seekers of connection

We love us in solitude

Spoiled with words of affection

Can we handle the distance?

Can we handle the void?    

Will we manage to see each other? 

Beyond all filters of gold?

Can we cut through the delusion?

Of fake makeup app diffusion

Of false promises and social fears

Without breaking down in tears?

Or do we gift ourselves 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.
