I tripped, I fell
I hurt myself
not blaming you
I will not tell
anyone about it
what should I do
the fire is lit
with all my dreams
gone up in smoke
like life it seems
unlikely candidates
emerge and recede
with perfect resumes
full of faultless lies
you can't disguise
behind pretty blue eyes
and I know the way
to play the game
but still if seems
such a shame
to have it come
down to this
unlikely end

yes, all too true, seems anyone can present themselves as something they are not; in relationships online, and when met face to face then what? hopefully sparks lol, but... it hurts just as real doesn't it? huggies, woofies n' love daisy*ness

I dont agree with internet realitionships because of past experiences, but beside that, this is a great poem, and its a decent intresting read about the facades of the internet

all your dreams gone up in smoke....I relate to this poem and this line in particular. Written to perfection as always Gaille.

Another great write. I can relate. Sometimes I feel as if you have condensed years of my life into these few good words.
