Ophelia Has WiFi

Dionysian66

She keeps her flowers

Beside her bed

And reads the messages

He never said

 

His name still flickers

Across her phone

She waits till midnight

To wait alone

 

He swears he loves her

Then turns away

He calls her darling

Then will not stay

 

Her father tells her

To guard her heart

But fathers seldom

Know where to start

 

She walks where street lights

Stain the stream

And hears the traffic

Inside her dream

 

By dawn they’re posting

What no one knew

And Hamlet whispers

I loved her too

    False promises and broken hearts make up this poem. Love listens to no advice. Well done

    Dionysian66, damn. Ophelia didn’t need WiFi, but apparently she would have fit right into our age of unread messages, half-assed affection, and everybody learning the truth after it’s too late. That final Hamlet whisper is brutal. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
