Digital Heartbreak

We touched hands like a blurt of honesty.
Though honestly,
I'm not really sure
whose telling the truth anymore.

We couldn't perceive one another's words
because the anger kept us at our posts.

Reserved and harmless,
throwing insults like granades.
With thunderous booms
though never landing.

Later to be blogged about
by not so innocent bystanders.

Details of sutures,
purpled bruising
and a chess game of scars.

Briefed on chinks in armor
by friends and strangers alike.

There won't be forgiveness
in our treaties.
No hope of 'I'm sorry'
no matter how shallow the plea.

Hurt swelled
and uploaded
like a jpeg file.

Publicly announced,
in so many characters.
Without any character
because nothing happens behind closed doors
anymore or ever again.

Author's Note

Ignore mistakes please. Its been awhile.

Pleasantly surprised at content, amazed at talent.
This one screams of truth and strength in its expression of 'the new world' I have yet to get used to.
Flashes of brilliance that pulls at my lifeblood...I'll be coming back!

Thanks for sharing

This is a very blunt and accurate description of relationships in the modern age. We say things we shouldn't, it's easier for us to be dishonest when we don't have to look each other in the eye. Very good write.

Ah, love in the digital age! Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide! Some strong imagery in this write, and some strong feelings come to the fore. The overall feel is one of anger mixed with hurt. Poetically expressed, making for an interesting read. ~ Robert.
