Broken

Between one second

And the next

Tock

As though through a screen

Every person that you’ve seen

Now a stranger

Nothing stranger

Characters

Out of synch with the life you live

Separate and empty

Hollow beings

Unaware

But only for a moment

Only until the nex-

Writing has been a hobby of mine for years, so I'm just thrilled to be here! As for me, I love writing, dogs, and travel (only 1 continent left! Australia-.-)
