Social Evaporation

Checking out your profile I send you a few lines
One of many suitors in search of elusive love so divine
You answered my initiative with a sense of energy that this time it was for real
A hidden sense inside your psyche assumed this was the emotional high I too would be able to feel.


We exchanged photos and were impressed by the images in front of our view
Common interests were several in the thoughts we exchanged as far as we both knew
Questions concerning our future were put out for both parties to see
Almost ready to announce to the world a new couple in the near future we intended to be.


A blank screen became my companion for several days in a row
Expected success in the game of love had apparently lost its everlasting glow
Reviewing my past overtures for any mistakes I had made
Just another notch on your belt for someone else who failed again to earn a passing grade.

This is a very well expressed sentiment about an experience which I have heard is commonplace on this and other such sites. People leading you along and then suddenly "ending it". I can vouch for it myself. Well put together poem
