Description
I shift position to look again
Cold metal is what supports me
As I watch the silent destruction
Of all that once supported a friend

The bask of blue light
Washes over my pale skin
A connection in a sea of data
I trace it back to where it all began

She had seemed to love him
At least in each picture shown
And I know he always loved her
For she was the only love he'd known

I feared that this was coming
I saw it in the past
By the subtle failures
By the glances cast

I know nothing of what she went through
I know not of her reasons why
Maybe the new world was too cruel to her
In a world where anyone can die

Maybe the training destroyed her
Or maybe it made something new
Someone that longed for something more
Someone who no longer knew what to do

Or maybe it was something else
The worst cliche realized
Distance weakened her resolve
Till she met another's eyes

Multiple reasons could be applied
But it no longer matters for she soon became
One of multiple lives and lies
An actress caught in a twisted game

And I am one, the audience
As is rest of the world
As the subtle drama unfolds
As her deceits, online, unfurl

It was a cruel move
To give one so much hope
To always reply, were they all lies?
And in the end nothing really mattered

He came as a surprise, a sacrifice
All the plans he'd laid
Broken by anther lie
A dying relative suddenly intervened

Suspicious, auspicious
Coincidence indeed
Such were the beginnings
The end's untimely seed

It was soon to be over
Delayed after so long
So many interruptions
Most often illogical ones

Then she came, for 2 minutes, no more
She arrived, asked him to come outside
Then ripped him apart beyond that door
2 minutes are all you need to destroy one's world

And I see it all
From hundreds of miles away
And now I must console
One who has fallen
From all that he knew

Behind the glass I sit
Safe and disconnected
Knowing what he must be feeling
But I don't truly, for I'm protected

As are all of us in this modern age
As one can lay their heart open
on any digital page
And we can only sit and watch
All victims of chronophage

Obscure comments, a few questions
That is all it takes
Soon enough it will come down on me
When my glass barriers break

My shields and my technology
Will never shelter me
From the pain of one betrayed
By one he longed to see

So I sit and try
It is a short interaction at least
An abrupt declaration of the fact
Followed by his shock that he cant go back

He finishes the tale
Filling in what I didn't know
And then the awkward pause
Second pass by too slow

I know not what to type
How to console one who
Has lost all that they clung to in life
And doesn't know what to do

And I still don't know
Do any of you?
