Cyber Crush (revisited and revised)

By SickSanityJenn

You took my hand and stole my heart
I loved you from the very start
I never thought we'd fall apart

All throughout our simple text
Our eyes deep and darkly set
A smile hiding on your breath

All this time we thought we were fine
But somehow we've reached a decline
We started running out of time

And we know, there's nowhere we can go
When our hearts are hung so low
We're just someone's simple playthings
Dressed up in ragged day dreams
Stuck together so haphazard and hastily
Screaming "What are we? What are we?"

We are just another generic fail
A couple of kids with a love gone stale
We truly believed we would prevail

And although it didn't burn for long
It burned bright and it burned strong
We never thought we could go wrong

And I'm falling, breathlessly calling
Are we stopped or are we stalling
Just fallen ruined iron angels
Cast down from the anvil
Not fit to fill a landfill
How did we reach this stand still?
Portraying happiness through our misery
Wandering around aimlessly
Screaming "What are we? What are we?"

I know how this is all too well. That old saying "the heart wants what the heart wants" is never more true when you find someone that lives miles and miles away. Nice write.

Thank you all so much for the reads and comments. Very much appreciated. Whether love is long distance or right next to you, it can be painful and difficult to keep alive.
