Anna Kelly - Broken Words

Wretched technology
Bringer of false hopes
Of friends for company
And self-indulgent fantasy
Portal to new worlds
Inner secrets shared
Words with double meaning
Offer both pain and pleasure
Invisible tears and smiles
And intimacy by measure
Words in abundance
Reduced to barely naught
Trusting and naïve
Quite likely the fool
Was I to think that this
Could possibly be for real
