Offline
I sign in my messenger,
And scan my buddy list.
As my cursor scaled the names,
My finger couldn’t resist.
I clicked the mouse on your name,
Like I’d done a thousand times.
I stared at the blank page,
Where you used to write your rhymes.
I’m overgrown with sadness,
Happiness ceases to begin.
It reads, you’re unavailable and
You’ll receive the message upon signing in.
That’s where things get tough,
I know that will never be.
The moment you left my life,
It felt like someone robbed me.
They stole my bestest friend,
Leaving the greatest memories behind.
My whole list has yellow faces,
As yours appears permanently...offline.

‘Bestest’ is misspelled purposely,
dedicated to a friend that I greatly miss.
