I Feel Like We Are In Two Different States

I feel like we are in
two different states.
One state is called denial and
one state is called acceptance.
But neither state holds a city
where we call home.

Bedroom Rift:

Made us apart drift.
Need to make a shift,
Revive the love gift.
Rules to follow
Pride we must swallow.
Fight less, Cuddle more!
Text less, Talk more!
This invasion
Of mobile and television.
Must end now
Anyhow!

You and me – So near yet so far,
Two lives where one should be lived.
Not a healthy space born out of love,
But a gap created by
the distractions that are.
The only question – the one that is final,
Are these distractions
external or internal?

Look at us,
we were once in love,
which has flown out like a dove,
the modern day technology,
has permeated our psychology,
the cracks are widening,
the love is diminishing,
the day is not far,
when love vanishes
from your radar
Turn over,
bridge the gap,
let love make
you whole again.

Technology tears people apart

The love we ignored.
The cuddle we never shared.
The attention we never gave to each other.
The kisses we never kissed.
These are all what we have missed.

Our decisions and choices
define our directions,
We keep it a secret,
we need it this way,
It’s all crazy relationship
the way we
can turn off and on.

So close, yet so far away.
Many issues building a wall
and our bond is cracking.
We’re getting further apart,
living our own lives eventually

The crack started before bed.
The backs turned before bed.
The T.V. And Book were
the only reason we are still there.

Our attention to the luminous screens
of our devices is undivided…unblinking.
What are we thinking?
The divide between us grows,
but our uncaring, fixed stares
don’t see the deepening
fissure in our love
