Don'T Let Them Take Your Heart

Beware the Cyber pirates! It had all been about money He pleaded with me to give him a chance said so with his romance I was the one and only. He stole my heart and took it up high where I could fly with the meadow larks. He even proposed said our love'll be forever he'd stand by me no matter I believed his prose. On the day we were to meet it suddenly couldn't work had to fly across the world work had interfered. Kept in touch by phone prayed this sacrifice be earned and soon a safe return waiting for the day he'd come home. Called me one day Said he was in trouble could not handle a problem asked me for monetary aid. He had known my own impasse how difficult it had been and yet plead for money A cyber pirate he was.

Look out for this guy. It's the old petty con game. I used to know guys who constantly mooched cigarettes, lived on other's toil. This kind of person really cares little for others - sociopathic. Love, dave

Caroline, I sincerely hope this is a fictional write. I met a fellow online once and he claimed to be building an airport in Africa. Said he was a widower from Tampa and looked sooo handsome. Then I got the request for $5,000 for airfare. He said all his wealth was inaccessible in Africa. No way! I sent his photo to a friend and she said, "That's Antonio Banderas." I had been played. Can relate to this poem. Hope it didn't happen to you. Love, Carolyn
