• Her pleas unheard among the familiar.
    Washed through the armor, her skin red and raw.
    Batting eyes and singing to those who've heard
    the songs of women before: her great flaw.

    Clicking through the avatars, she hearkens
    to the words of the strange, smiling falsely.
    The wind of change seems right; digital lens.
    Seen through to shut the reminders softly.

    Farce revealed in the people present now.
    He was here from the beginning in love.
    Her eyes blinded by the friendship, oh how?
    He is much too sweet; her mind made above.

    He will stand here until her armor sheds.
    He will stand here forever. ‘Lone in bed.
