A poem about a failed online friendship, drawn from a personal experience |
You start off with good intentions That you and nobody else mentions Because its rude to publicise All the truths and all the lies Then when it goes horribly wrong You realise you aren't that strong From the sky comes the rain To briefly dull the stinging pain Of encounters that should not have been Started off from the screen Unknown persons come into view Intentions dulled by a hazy hue You wonder if you're doing right When you get involved with their plight The secrets that they share with you Go no further, that is true For i am one without loose lips From my mouth nothing slips One would hope its reciprocated Trust can never be outdated Despite the silence that has descended Upon our time that has ended There are many questions that remain Unasked, i must refrain From probing any further deeper Into the mind of the keeper Of answers that i'll never know But their actions are starting to show No more shall i be roped in To something that i cannot win To have my efforts cast aside And crush the remnants of my pride What exactly did i achieve? Who exactly did i decieve? Online people can be fun But you have to find a certain one From this saga i have learned That fingers can get easily burned Nobody shall ever gain my trust Promises just turn to dust To the person who i write about You leave me with little doubt That you will be just fine without me So i say this most politely We had laughs and we had fun But i have to look after number one So do your thing and live your life With no stress and no strife I now retreat into myself And resume my position upon the shelf |
