Love Poem: Messenger Thread

Messenger Thread

Messenger threads between me and you,
From ordinary friends we grew,
Sharing, asking, kidding around,
Freely I could say what I found.

Messenger threads, our words entwined,
Friendship’s casual thoughts combined,
Unafraid and unsuspecting,
Typing light and easy, reflecting.

Messenger messages, innocent and pure,
Unprepared for a twist, unsure,
When you, without intention, teased,
My heart awakened, no longer at ease.

Now messenger threads tell a tale,
Of how my heart began to fail,
Hopelessly drawn to your charm,
Loveliness meant for another’s arm.

Messenger threads I scroll, delete,
Hoping to undo the pain, retreat,
But it’s nonsense, far too late,
My love and adoration met their fate.
