I do not love you
At times I hate you
But I need you in my world
Without you I am disconnected
You are fickle in the attention you pay
On again, off again
I can barely keep up
You deliberately torment me
Changing, morphing
Leaving me behind
And each time I must learn anew
How to live with you
You are unforgiving of my mistakes
And when I feel I will never find my way back
You mock and torment me
My life is inextricably linked to yours
And if could I live without you
I would
But until then
You are a necessary evil
And my only hope is that
Someone, somewhere
Will show me the way
To recover the files that I mistakenly deleted
I could have sworn I hit “save

I never knew ya meant me. lol.
Do shut up Orchi, says Fido! lol.
Now Orchi, I would not compare you to the internet, more like a summers day, a breath of fresh air don't ya know. Good boy Fido!
That just about sums the whole thing up .. Been there done that and worn the T shirt out several times .. Tis bloomin good to know I'm not the only one too .. 🐧
Now here's cult for you. We could have meetings, do a lot of complaining, and in the end accomplish nothing which is how it usually works. Thanks for reading my friend, glad to know I'm not in this boat alone.
Very good write, Bella! I think there are a lot of folks that share in your discontent.....have a wonderful day!
You know what they say "misery loves company". Thank you my friend for reading and for your well wish, hope you've had a wonderful day as well.
What a clever and very meaningful metaphor Bella which on first read fooled me until the last few lines -- then I nodded in sympathy after knowing the same pain of hitting delete................ ooooh this one I keep for when I next press similar Saves dear friend.
Thank you my dear friend for reading and commiserating. Fortunately my husband and I sit across from each other, with back to back computers, and many's the time he's saved something I thought was gone forever. Hope the shoulder is getting better.
About halfway through Bella, I was sure you were heading for a divorce and I woz in with a chance....!
I am meticulous in the creation of a comprehensive file system in my PC email - too comprehensive....a search takes an extreme effort - especially when I go to my deleted items (which I haven't cleaned out for a long time)....but noone told me the archive folders had their own delete file....
Dearest Dave, you are a delight. Actually, on more than one occasion my husband has brought back from the dead something I thought I'd never see again. I have to say that admire anyone with a conprehensive file system. Thank you for reading!
The internet can have its ways of determining its own way of going but you will overcome it bella.

Thank you dear Andy for those reassuring words.
Neither with nor without, what a quandary...
Thank you my friend for reading, your comment is so true.
I so relate, dear Poet
here's my feeble effort, mirroring your theme:

Thank you dear friend for reading and sharing your feeble effort, which is anything but feeble. I think you hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. I thank you kindly for the fav.
How relatable is that. And at the same time how metaphorical. How much dependency leads to pain and loss. Yes a perfect title too. Necessary evil indeed.
Ah yes my friend, so much of that in life. Thank you for reading and commiserating.
