Catfish Reality

He was looking for love

For a relationship,

An online love that he could not resist,

He was hoping to find the perfect one

Then this someone special came along.

They spoke of things important to them

Things they both felt they had in common,

His world was turned upside down

Over this special love he had found

But one day it started to unravel

He was ready to meet and travel

Half a world to visit them

But then he found out his love was not a woman

That he had been played and strung along,

Was too much for him

And he could not carry on,

He played online to them a sad song,

Then ended his life when it was done.

Catfish are you happy now,

Catfish are you proud now,

Catfish what you going to do now

You caused someone you did not know to die.
