"It’s Hard to Take"...

In the world of social media, the stranger in the screen can be unfriended or deleted in the guiltless click of the delete prompt.  New multipal identities and new pseudonym accounts are a dime a dozen .   Words like friend and love still mean something to me but in today's world

    I am obsolete...

"Its hard to take"

Willingly stepping into the circle of trust
With a free spirit inspiring the dawn
When the going got rough… in a moment
Blow up the circle and leave it all in the virtual dust

 It’s too easy to say goodbye

Without looking into real eyes

In the blink of an unseen teary eye and a keyboard click

Traces of unrequited love vanished from the screen

Slamming open doors closed

Are nothing new to see

But a virtual day dream’s door

Seems like so much more than an illusion              

The candles were blown out the instant

 The motion of walking away stirred the passing breeze 

When the music stopped playing

Only the love song was over

Please pull that plug from life support

Before turning to walk away

Throw away the entrance key

I’m so tired of living this way

Even as the aching memory now tugs at my soul

I’d do it again in a heartbeat...chasing that impossible dream.

When you play with virtual fire, there’s always a possibility

To get virtually burned literally spinning out of control

One hundred years from today

There won’t be a trace of this smitten memory

Or a hint of that day when you cut and ran

As if I never even mattered to thee…
