Silent Space Poem by jennifer jane pryce

I look across at you
you are there every night
I just look, that's all
wondering what your like

I know you are alone
your laptop says that too
tv on in the corner
but you haven't got a clue.....

shutters open to the world
I can see right into yours
if you'd only look my way
I'm on the second floor

but you don't, you concentrate
on the laptop on your lap
who is it you are emailing?
will she be coming back?

we could have coffee
we could even talk
I'd fill your world with questions
as we went for a walk

it's hard when you lose love
you have a window in your heart
all the world can see
that you are blown apart

but looking at you now
I see I am not alone
you too have silent spaces
in your lonely room
