I typed my heart out into an offline IM

The felled petals of my bouquet of digital

roses lined your pixelated floor

"I<3 U"

And you said "I<3 U 2"
Between the lols and :-*'s
I thought our internet love affair might have meant something to you

Maybe as much as it did to me

You played me for a fool
(Some joke, your boy-toy tool)

Finding out our relations are non-exclusive

But hey, it's not like facebook love affairs last all that long

*-:

It's just so much easier to lie

Without accountability for what we say
It's strange that we have the ability to-

Speak our minds without moving our lips

Tears don't mean all that much when they're black and pink across an aim box
I'll think twice before I'll have another facebook mistress

Not to open up my heart so easily to be read over again in your

"Saved Conversations" folder

So when you hung up,

I clicked sign out

Disconnected from your digital world
But I can't say I'll miss you,

My -lol- digital girl
