Social Media

Chance after chance of whole grain wheat
sorrys and oopsie daisies and begging on their knees
cowards and twats and twits

You meet someone and its like butter wouldnt melt
everything you hear is gold dust
you get taken out and splashed out on and everything feels like perfect
you get yourself hooked and talk everyday and text and fall asleep with each other
you dial their number and oh hey they do say and a smile its etched on your face now
You are so happy and facebook gets busy and you take some pictures and share them
your life feels more busy and you are so frilly and dance around excited to see them
data after date and night after night
and text after call after voice note
the time is a flowing and your love is growing and nothing can damage this perfection

But like the weather it can sometimes change and leave you amongst clouds in the winter
it can start to rain and sleet and snow and you have no idea what is going on
the social media platform is now abandoned and forlorn and you cant see the happy smiles
you are no longer upbeat

Chance after chance of whole grain wheat
sorry after sobbing after flowers after texts
knocking on your door
banging your window
asking you to forgive

21st century love life
lost in the classic love story
lost in the getting to know someone
lost in the dating
just getting into bedding
not getting to know properly
people are wolves in sheeps clothing
they are lying
they are pretending
they are using
abusing
texting and calling
liking and deleting
blocking and tormenting
the love life
the modern day love life, lost in the media
the media of socialism
the media of opinion
the caring what they thinking
the writing the status and checking in
show you are busy
show you are somebody
show you are with somebody
be with somebody
dont be alone
dont be single
force it
forgive and lose
chance after chance
forgive and lose, get lost get sad


NO
this can not be the life of 2017
this can not go on
feelings are real
you cant edit the text
you can not undo the done
you cant delete it
or unshare it
its out there, its real
it beats
the heart beats
it gets hurt
no font colour can change that
no emoticon can erase that
its real
people are real
social media isnt
its just a rose tinted view
its just a lie
its just a curtain drawn slang match in mute
its just lies
all lies
all evil
all fake

chance after chance of whole grain wheat
not anymore
you blew it
you blew your chances
no more fucks will be given
do not mess with me and my blood line
did you not listen
to the rules of childhood
you play with fire and you will get burnt
