A/N: This was something I wrote initially about a friend but then it totally lost itself and virtually wrote itself. I sort of gave into its rhythm – I guess it's more about this book I was reading ages ago about this girl… yeah. Thanks for reading!


Life Support

Hey! You're online!

She's a miracle

She's company during the day,

A comfortable silence where words mean nothing

And she consoles me,

At night.


When my face is a box

Where her face is the screen

And bloodshot I stare

Fingers crossed she replies?

At night.


You don't open up easily.

Where I can give my troubles to the wind

And watch them converse

As she swirls around me

A treasured blanket,

At night.


I want to rip my heart out

For the wind. I just don't care

Her hand reaches mine, bringing with her

Warmth for the inside,

At night.


You shouldn't think like that.

What a wonderful feeling!

To be loved. To find

Love. Fingers pattering

As we converse,

At night.


Words form spirals,

Circling, comforting,

It's the truth, she says

I wish it were mine

At night.


Is everything ok?

She's concerned.

Reluctantly I hang up my cloak

And let the mask melt,

It fizzles on the floor, angry

At night.


I see another side of her.

He's looking at another! She frets.

It's alright. Jealously's clouding your mind

It's a two-way street,

At night.


I feel vulnerable.
Because you trust too easily.

And like a vacant beehive

They swarm in. When the buzzing dies

You heal, I watch the stings disappearing,

At night.


I hope he comes online tonight.

He's taking over your life.

Gosh it hurts when the truth


You're so pessimistic.

Slams you in the face,


No I'm not.

But you've got to be ready,


Yes you are.

At night.


Sweet dreams.

A/N: So how did we like it? It would be awesome if you left a review.
