Facebook Lover

I called her my Facebook lover
We flirted and hugged with a mouse
No messy sharing of fluids
Safe in my room in my house

No dining or going to movies
No talking of womanly dreams
No curtains or shelves from Ikea
No bloody relationship scenes

Just Scrabble and fish tanks and gardens
Pirates and Vampires and Wolves
Dancing our lust on the keyboard
Yet pushing emotional rules

We pretend there’s no innuendo
Well maybe a bit of a flirt
Dreamscapes glowing with passion
In places where no-one gets hurt

Then one day the cyber world crumbled
Our bodies demanded release
From the prison of self-preservation
Our kisses discovered love’s peace
