Wandering lost among the crowd
One finds her, his prize, his one and only
She, lonely yet terrified ran but bowed
To the obvious, the presence of an emotion most holy
Love itself
This was no ordinary online romance
No. He called, he texted, she did the same
Across the miles they saw one another in this dance
Marriage, relocation, blending families; all fair game
Love was All
Every moment of every day consumed by each other
Adoring words, endearments shared, hearts open wide
He ensured she was well, cared for but not to smother
But fear lurked within this man; past fear of loss due to pride
Yet that fear was vanishing
Before both knew it, in one conversation, life changed forever
Messages – MANY of them – unceasingly came to the woman
And nothing said to her lover; paralyzed with fear; the attacker clever
The lover went away; the attacker stayed, moved upon his prey
With intentions clouded with evil
The next 24 hours began the assault by this vermin of hate
Relentless, unceasing, unyielding, domineering, overpowering
Acting as if he cared but in truth, something was lurking to bate
The woman into checkmate; manipulating, conniving, towering
Her mind twisted like taffy
Now the lover was the enemy, the attacker was the “hero” to save
How could this be in such a short time? Narcissists can be that way
The attacker promised he’d always be at her side; to be bold and brave
But in truth? He was the coward, the liar, the thief; the lover pushed away
Discarded, thrown downwind
As the lover pleaded, begged and pleaded more to uncover the problem
The attacker lurked, stalked; waited for the impending death
He swore he “slept off,” easily a lie; it was not hard to spot him
He set this up this disaster, a tragic clash that strangled the breath
One was entirely blocked
Then for two days – that’s all that was needed – more manipulation
Mind games, phone calls combined with messaging – conflicting words
Arguments made to appear she was the villain, again more manipulation
Time wasted, nothing accomplished, constant reassurance, all like a house of cards
Waiting to fall
In the midst of it all, she thought to have this man cleared of suspicion
A message came – a secret account – she knew it was over
More time wasted, more sleep lost, a phone call combined with texting?
Demands for responses while begging for talking – Oh! Who IS this joker?
To sleep she went – in the early morning?
Instead of texting him as requested, she decided this had to end
She went digging and fishing through the internet and found…?
He was already online? This is nothing he could defend
Then comes – TWO accounts on Facebook? What was this?
More lies…a dual life, and the end of this relationship.
But, she comes back, on bended knee to her lover to explain
In deep sobs, heartbreak and terrible suffering and pain
She told him everything, absolutely everything
All that came back was, “Ok, that’s fine.”
And a request: “Please get out of my life.”
Now SHE was the one discarded, thrown downwind
Manipulated, twisted, turned, vision askew
Her once joyous laughter silenced; her bright smile dimmed
Hope was now gone, her heart ached, she was finished with love
She severed ties, destroyed electronic trails and accounts
She now wasn’t just discarded – she vanished
