Words of love exchanged
Wonderful feelings plain
Understanding sensation
Pooled with much elation
Then communications do end
As abruptly as the wonder sent
And youth prevails over pride
As emotions dip upon a slide
For misunderstandings appear
As frozen screens do then clear
And realization is made from it
Impetuosity has won over spirit
For the connection so full of love
Evaporated as strings snap above
And persona dissolves into thin air
As blinks of disbelief become a stare
For the bond you thought had been there
Then became nothing at all beyond chair
And the reaching out which you'd enacted
Now was caught in a trap they'd concocted
