Lost in a world without you,
Your just miles down the road
Living in your own world
With only technology to keep us together
But what happens
When that very foundation that kept us together
Rips us apart.

Technology cannot be relied on.
It’s not something to be trusted,
So why is it something we use every day?
Every second of every minute we sit in front of our screens
And text on our phones

Waiting
Just waiting for something to go wrong
Not for the robots to take over
But for it all to just stop working
For it all to stop functioning,
Then what would we have?

Nothing.
No you,
No me.

We would have nothing.

The author's comments:
I wrote this one day when my phone didn't charge at night. I go to school full time, and he's already graduated so he goes to work full time so the only way we can communicate is through text. So when one of our phones isn't working when were not together we can't communicate and I don't think were the only one's that have this problem.
