Virtuality Vs Reality
To the person on the other end of the screen.
What does our relationship mean?
Our authentic faces have barely been seen.
But virtual conversation is now routine.
To the person on the other end of the laptop.
Sometimes our conversations make my heart drop.
You’re a virtual human I wouldn’t want to swap
I hope our virtual routine doesn’t stop.
To the person on the other side of my phone.
We connect on mutual feelings of being alone.
The Internet world has become family and home.
And together our virtual feelings have grown.
To the person on the other side of the app.
I enjoy watching the feelings unwrap.
But am I caught in a virtual trap?
If I was, would I give a crap?
To the person who I really speak to.
Though I know your name, I still wonder who.
After all we’ve been through.
Is the person you show me really you?
I am authentic and scarily honest.
My photo’s are not filtered and polished.
My trust and my feelings could so easily demolish.
If you’re not who you promised.
To the person on the other side of my phone.
I only really trust you because I’m desperately alone.
I’m physically on my own.
So I choose to believe what I’m shown.
