Cyberlove

I see so many people searching of late
Surfing cyberspace to find them a mate
Sadness and longing spurs on their quest
Compassion and kindness, their only request

There's so many players it's hard to tell
All of them trying themselves to sell
Saying the words, just playing the parts
Lying and preying on twice-broken hearts

Innocent victims, they are led by sweet hope
Not understanding the full depth nor the scope
Just faceless people with souls opened wide
Bearing their feelings, not one do they hide

Hoping that somehow true love will appear
Whisk them away from all sadness and fear
Capture the rainbow that follows the rain
But sadly often they're left with more pain

I'm so grateful darling, that our love is real
The emotions we share, and closeness we feel
Yet I still feel great sadness for all those alone
Praying that one day true love finds their home
