my internet soul mate
by rachel haywire | 11/14/09

never have i met you but i think it might be fun
you'd validate the fact that i was not the only one
you have these sorts of interests too - you actually exist!
you're more than just a figment of my social contact list
we'd sit down and we'd talk about our years of endless chatter
serve our private thoughts to one another on a platter
maybe we'll be cool some day and meet at some convention
realize that we're more than freaks who redefine pretension
maybe we could fall in love - now wouldn't that be grand?
we'd do it all in person too - enough of cyberland!
but you could be an as*hole - you could smash and break my heart
not that this is what i want - but things do fall apart
what if you went back online and told the world i failed?
that anyone who dated me would get their s**t derailed?
cause if you couldn't stand me i'd become your stalker-ex
you'd pretend like you forgot about our endless kinky sex
i'd be another way for you to drop an online friend
you'd macro me on 4chan - that s**t would never end
but really now i like you i just don't want any drama
you're the only other poly-goth with babysitter trauma
people like us don't exist - at least outside the net
who else can use the civil war to get themselves all wet?
we really have to meet some day - there's no one else this clever
who cares that i'm a stranger - i've known you forever!

Good poem. I liked the way it flowed, exploring the positive and negitive and the pattern of the words.

Thanks!

I was waiting for that one!

Most of those lines have a call and response sort of rhyme. I’m not sure why you split just the ones with the hyphens.

it also depends where you where going to split the beat.

or

never have i met you but...i think it might be fun

A handy line, "the Civil War",
You lure us with a mention,
A cunning hook and you are sure,
To catch all our attention!
