What rule did I transgress
What crime did I commit
For you to smash my heart
Into the smallest bits?
It's splintered, shattered on the floor
You cut me to my very core
Remotely you walked out the door
Now you don't Zoom me anymore
We used to chat for hours
(Once I'd clicked on your link)
In our respective beds
Curled up with just a drink
With online love you knew the score
I want things as they were before
But I'm a shipwreck far from shore
Now you don't Zoom me anymore
Was my wifi too weak?
My video unclear?
My background indistinct?
My voice too quiet to hear?
Did I break some unwritten law?
All of my invites are ignored
What happened to our great rapport?
Now you don't Zoom me anymore
I thought you were the one
Since our first virtual date
Till 'old normal' resumed
The physical could wait
Our romance clearly had a flaw
I punch my keypad, fingers raw
You've changed your number – final straw!
Now you don't Zoom me anymore
(And although I remain your true believer
You don't FaceTime, WhatsApp, Skype or Instagram me
Either)
