YES!
I once had a friend,
gentle, caring and sensitive;
He was.
Almost overbearing I thought,
Broken and in need of healing,
He became my getaway.
While my heart aches and
my pillow stayed soak,
I laughed at the sound of his voice;
at every word he said.
laughter had become my barricade.
Carefree he thought I am,
Heartbroken I was.
Days went by,
hours spent communicating,
became all day, almost.
In love he fell;
At least that was what he thought,
A lie I knew it was.
A web has been woven,
both of us were caught in it.
I needed a gateway,
He needed attention, a time out,
What? I really do not know,
We were both prisoners.
Stay away!
My heart admonished me,
but my mind was enslaved,
charmed by the flattery it received,
the distraction was satisfying.
In love I fell,
Sadly not with the person,
But with a thought .
Yes, I texted.
A commitment made,
With a concept not to the person.
Days rolled by,
weariness sets in,
my heart grew numb to the pain it needed distraction from,
Distracted he became;
His eyes wandered,
my interest was freed...
