Hearts And Kisses
She cries in her room, scanning the internet,
searching through the dating sites for her soulmate.
And chatting up cyber friends she's never met
keeps her entertained: with so much on her plate.
And yet, she's lonely: for love's not on the net,
and she's abandoned reality of late.
Feeling empty is a gut-wrenching feeling,
and this fledgling's broken wings require healing.
She tries to numb that hollow feeling with likes
and cutesy emojis of hearts and kisses.
And she smiles as her popularity spikes,
the fact that she's still alone, she dismisses.
The web has morphed into a surreal friend,
who is responsive: to copy, paste, and send.
But social beings get depressed when alone:
and the web's long-term effects are yet unknown.
