Love On The Net Poem by Carolyn Ford Witt

-LOVE ON THE NET-

There are many young men, who like to play games
With the feelings of women they've met,
To bolster their egos, they'll weave such a web
With lonely women they meet on the net.

Their gift is so subtle, it enraptures them all
Our emotions they tangle so well,
Until we begin to compare what they've said
and their motives-will soon start to smell.

How do you punish this stark disregard
For emotions we wear on our cuff?
You stake them-you shake them-you skin them alive
Or Ladies, am I being too rough?

So Ladies, be warned that emotions do show
And some men will play them with skill,
Think long and think hard before entering in
To relationships that compromise your free will.
