OFFLINE

Want to get my hands on it: 

Your promising words 

Outside: 

My window sill, 

Knock’s of yesterday’s 

Anxiety 

Don’t sing for me no more, 

The world has changed 

And I’m here waiting, 

For you to call me. 

Working on what I want 

To share with you, 

And I’m here waiting... 

To engage 

Oh! The beams of sadness 

Stream down my walls, 

But the support frame 

Remains so strong. 

My support: 

What little there is, maybe 

It’s all I need… 

Or maybe my stupid dream of meaning something 

Is empty 

And I’m here waiting, 

For you to call me. 

Working on what I want 

To share with you, 

And I’m here waiting 

For you to know me 

But I’m afraid the darkness 

Has taken everyone 

To the table of digital games, 

And I am on the chessboard 

Waiting to engage
