There's a new game in the world today.
The "Net: is perfect for some to play.
The game is called "Casual" or maybe "Stall".
It play's with hearts and is not fun at all.

The player's are people seeking love on the "Net".
The rules are "none", just promise, and yet,
Sit in your own world, toy and bide.
Flirt with some and then let it ride.

Meet with lonely hungry folks and then,
Wait but tell not perhaps until when,
No one better come along, and you can say,
I've been ill, off the "Net", but I'm back to play.

Promise the world, say "love" and "will write."
Then ignore the lonely seek another to "bite".
Never be honest, if you are you can't play.
If none better show's then come back and say.

"Sorry, my love, my computer was broke."
"Had to work out of town", but never say "joke."
Never be honest, you may lose them just when,
You discovered that you need them again.

Tell not the truth, you may find someone better.
Back to the "singles" write more letters.
Games have a way of coming back in your face.
Even on this "Net" that may be the case.

Continue, your game, heed not the harms.
Someone will come and dazzle with charms.
Then with you the game they may play.
You may be the next one hurting away.

Blessed be and merrily met with good thoughts and feelings to all

Oh, this is magnificent in it's message!!!!
Yes....there are certainly some drawbacks to modern day cyberlove.  It's a new game, with new rules, and new ways to hurt...that is for certain.  Great job, my friend!!!

Live...Love...Be grateful for both!!

heartfelt thanks for your time and interest.... the thing is the anonymity allowing fantasy but not necessarily empathy

I have to be honest and say that most of the people I've met on the net are dear and true of heart... but the players do exist and the heartbreak is very real. You've written of those situations very well!!!

Yep, there are definately games out there, such a shame.  You wrote of this perfectly.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
