Modern day lives

I'm here
I'm right here and you haven't even seen me
Is this life now? Don't enter the location and lose your friends?
They don't recognise me you see
I've been busy
I've been living and sunning and loving and they have been waiting
Waiting for our meet up
I sit down, I'm exhausted, work have me on this project and my brain is in overdrive
I'm sat there drink in one hand, phone in the other
Chatting out my excitement of life, of love, how I'm engaged and it's so right
How well the house is coming on and how happy life is making me
They, well they just sit there
It's like they have only just seen me arrive
There minds are lost back three blocks in some other town, trying to catch up on my route
The hours fly and I'm tired
They have said nothing
Not a mutter
Not a sigh or ounce of recognition
Waitress comes
Bills paid
Tips on the table in the metal plate
I'm up and out
Coat on
Bag and phone
I've left
What was that?
Is that life in 2016?
Is that a friendship?

Lectures about life

The time will stand still
Enough is enough
Your heart will erupt
To everyone's shock
Not a word will calm the storm which has brewed
For you have had enough and you can't shield your eyes
The tears are like acid as they sting down your face
The skin is like filo as it's scratched from the haste
Not a person can save you, it has reached every brim
The story got evil and got drenched in your sins
I won't scare you now though
As the sun has come out
Just know I feel pain too and sometimes I can't cope
Not a hug nor a kind word can fix the pain I feel
But your face it can heal overtime all I pushed through
