I used to have dreams
I used to live in innocence
these days
no more dreams
not a drop of innocence
they have been flayed away
if this happens to you
you find yourself approaching oppressing obscurity
where you
reach out to the cyber world
where it's easy
to relate in a cyber-posturing way
artificial to say the least
I bare my heart to the world
taking in the cyber-words like a mighty hug
still, I live in my apprehensive
world here enclosed in
The Hovel
my heart still beats
dreams and innocence destroyed
are my cold comfort

Ah the cyber world...for all the convenience it offers reaching far and wide in an instant. It still has the limitations of the ordinary world. And it will never be able to fill the shoes of a real live people. It is a Godsend to be able to keep in touch with people, it just won't allow that simple human touch that is so vital to our being.

Lori said it so well...my experience for the most part is...online friends or lovers can flip the switch at any given moment...or take on a false persona. I wasted a lot of time and energy on what was never real...to be fair I am the first to say we are all real people with real feelings.

Hindsight being 20/20.

I hear every word you say, Blues. I have only played the cyber-love game once, and on my side of the "couple" it was more of a hurting thing than the other.
