Parting Company: Now Or Later

Ingredients for a relationship I offer to you
Prior to meeting me you now have a clue
Putting your mouse to work you send me a few lines
Expecting in the weeks ahead everything will be fine.


I present my reasons behind entering this site
You; meanwhile assume the wrongs of your past will now turn out right
Your reasons for connection force me now to break away
The level of anguish increases with every additional passing day.


The pain of non acceptance is devastating on both sides
Seeking comfort in the company of a close friend to heal wounded pride
Searching continuously for companionship not wishing to lead someone falsely on
Feeling I did the right thing although in my heart it seems very wrong.

About this poem:
The search for social companionship sometimes causes someone to spend additional time on the site. You go through many candidates in your search. Someone responds in a positive way. Your happiness is short lived as you discover your reasons for connection do not match those of the other party. With heavy heart you break off the connection before the intensity increases possibly leading to a tragic outcome.
