I’d be a Hermit
I’d be a hermit in a hut of technological advancements
Hiding from the world that is yelling,
Forcing its trash into my retinas and down my ear canals.
Without you, I wouldn’t care about anyone else but myself
You cause my world to collide with a world foreign to me,
Yet so seductively intimate to my nature.
If I didn’t have you, I’d be hollow.
I love you.
