Cyber Love in the Digital
Age
You said to write my inner
most thoughts but
I don't think those would interest you, really.
You haven't met me, don't know me, may never know me.
Should I tell you of the small
and sad gestures
others make that call to me and the unspoken emotions
in others lives that make me reach out?
How my heart breaks purely?
We talk of sex and yes I love
sex but not just sex
Nor only sex because it is what it is.
Two people reaching out, each to the other.
For what purpose?
Comfort sex, undiscovered sex,
feel good sex?
Or maybe for a recognition of a need for a place
that each strives to have in the life of another.
To not be alone.
I don't know what love is
so I can't talk of love,
no, nor even think of love.
Love is hope where I have none
for I have been lost in the nighttime
of the soul for a long, long time.
But I know of need and of being
needed.
Of want and being wanted and wanting in return.
I think of touching here...or maybe...there?
Knowing as I reach out to touch
that what I'm doing has nothing
to do with touching flesh at all.
Can you say the same?
