You requested to follow me
On social media
Little did I know
What that meant
Messages poured from your brain
And from my heart
Unfortunately
Both can't function at the same time
But sweetheart I'm a goddess
I'm not a naive child
Born from stardust
With tear stained cheeks
An inferno of emotions
Whispers in our words
I don't understand your desire
For something we can never be
I have walls around my heart
And traps in my brain
To keep people like you out
But darling, they don't seem to be working
You wind your way into my life
As I push you away
Staring at my reflection
In the pools of your sadness
I have the strength of a warrior
Cold to the touch
Eyes full of demons
Wise and ancient
You think you know who I am
And what I stand for
Oh honey if only you knew
The intenseness I hold
Defending women and men
And children and victims
Whose cries are not heard by God
But by me
I listened to their screams
Of pain and war and lost
And I put on my armor
And fought for them
I can't constantly check my phone
Waiting for you to reply
When I have battles to win
And people to save
I'll save you too
Through the internet we speak
But don't think for once
That you are my one and only
I love the world
I love the people in the world
But most importantly
I love myself
So we can share photos
And flirty words
But I will read more than our messages
To further educate myself and others
If I don't learn while I'm here
Then I should leave
And if you don't care about me
Then I will
I'm better at witty comebacks
Than sweet replies
We're lovingly insane
Trapped in our conversations
*****
Have a life off of the screens we hold in our hands every day...
~Luna Galaxy, a fallen star
