Locked in a screen 
Lost in a screen 
In a chat 
In a device
Trapped
Stuck. 

This is where the conversation starts. 
This is where the conversation ends. 

It's suffocating 
Excruciating 
The distance between us
Not physical 
But obstacle. 

This only makes sense to us. 
They won't understand   
But you do.

Hi Stu,

Thanks for the comment. The typo was deliberate to portray the silent scream of isolation that lies within the screen world but I can see how that would be hard to work out so I will change it.

Appreciate the feedback ?

i like this. its claustrophobic but hopeful in that you share this isolation with another. i think there is a typo in the title though.
