I have been 'unfriended.'?
I do not have a Facebook account,?
but I am still, very, very upset.
Man and woman we are.
Right from days of old,
Coalesced by the bond
Of an unending friendship
Yet, as time flew by
Curves, attitude, beauty
Plant in my head a different notion
A switch in emotion
'Bless me with your heart's love"
Was my speech.
And while glaring at me
You ended the unending.
If I spoke my true mind or spoke my truth
Would you be real kind or knock out my tooth
Could you be open to other thought or is your mind just closed
Would you consider what I have brought, what I propose
Are you so sheltered that ideas that aren't yours
Deserve to be locked up behind closed doors
My thoughts may not be your own, but do I have to stand alone
I may be wrong... nothing is written in stone
Too often I bite my tongue, stifle my voice so no one gets stung
Because social media is quick to try and rip out your lung
All along
were you just a pretend friend
a beginning leading to a dead end
the polite one
not wanting to offend
I've gone over and over
the things in my mind
searching
hoping I might find
Some clues in conversations
When we were more than strangers
Sniffing at moments spent
a bloodhound on the scent
wondering what everything meant
As I dig up
what I thought were good times
trying to glean the subtle messages
that must be buried between your lines
Is it my failing or yours
I have no answers
to the whys what's or wherefores
Along your hallway
all I can find are locked doors
I'm trapped in knock knock prison
no one to answer "who's there?"
just a silent spectre who ignores
going about saving the world
and other more important chores
So I must let go
even though
It feels like sorrow
looking back doesn't always fix tomorrow
I'm content knowing
I was a true friend
My feelings didn't evaporate break or bend
What I gave wasn't just a pretence on lend
The tide has turned it can't be stemmed
Lost to currents
there will be no amends
I guess sadly
I must accept
we aren't meant to be friends!
Unfriended Again!!
Very sad that it was you.
Happy Trails my friend.
I Can’t Believe He Unfriended Me
By Elton Camp
Suzy signed on to Facebook, and got a shock
One that, to its core, her virtual world did rock
There was a man she told all of her secrets to
And that she loved him wildly, he well knew
But when his account Suzy attempted to check
There was something that she never did expect
She could access her lover’s account no more
In the way she had always been able to before
For a long time, she’d been a special Friend,
But that relationship he had brought to an end
Poor Suzy couldn’t imagine the reason why
He would do this thing without saying goodbye
Only much later did Suzy finally come to see
How fickle online relationships often can be
It had caused her fragile ego to take a beating
She’d been Unfriended without even a meeting
