In An Empty Room |
Gathered ‘round
The tube
They seem more focused
On troubles
A thousand miles away
Yet in this house
There is much
Needs mending
There is much
Demands attention
But here
They sit
In silence
Strangers
Under one roof
Conversation
In fits and starts
Empty words
And only then
Over commercials
Used to be
They shared it all
Connected
Contented
Devoted
Then time disconnected them
Now all that’s left:
Flickering shadows
Focused
On a thousand miles away
