My Facebook Friend

A poem about the challenges of Facebook friendships.

Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
It’s clear you choose to ignore me
Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
It’s obvious that you deplore me

We had some bond that made us tick
But now my Like button you never click

So what’s the story?
I’m not cool?
Have you enrolled in some higher school?

Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
Shared interests, are they no longer?
Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
I can’t take the mystery much longer

Afford me the courtesy of at least being straight
Unfriend me if I am no longer your mate

So what’s the deal?
Are you for real?
Am I no longer worthy of your precious zeal?

Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
Your reply I politely demand sir
So, why you want to be my Facebook friend?
Or should I beware of the answer

Why you want to be my Facebook friend?
It’s clear that you don’t really know me
So, why you want to be my Facebook friend?
A reason I wish you could show me
