Connected from port to mouth

From thought to thumb

The way I’m speaking to you now

In this convenient form of communication

Where punctuation has been deemed aggressive

Nothing short of your fragile ego

Try a little less, take a load off

You must be busy doing dick-all

Plug in and forever be involved

As time flies by

It’s hard to remember silence is golden

What once was met with warmth and open arms

Now awaits the interruption

Intertwined in isolation

Hand in hand but stretching thin

As the grip tightens the space between us grows

Gather your strength - there’s a point to be made

Give a little tap and show your support

With a gesture so meaningless

It might as well be breathing

I must admit, I’m a hypocrite

Neck deep in this mess I speak against

But if you feel like I do

If you want to pull the plug:

Get out

While you still can

Sell yourself

Prove your worth

Down on your knees

Beg for the validation

As time runs dry

I can't remember

(Silence is golden)

What was once was met with warmth leaves me restless

So I'll wait for the interruption
