Online love

Татев Габоян
Lots of teens might disagree
With this poem and with me;
But there’s secret to unlock –
There’s no such thing as “online love”

In the pictures there’s no soul,
In the messages – no heart,
How can anyone love someone,
If their real face is so dark?!

People are obsessed with talking:
Talkative, or mean, or lonely,
They just need someone to like –
Here’s perfection in their mind.

I know it can be hard to face,
But that’s just sorrow truth –
That, pictures never really change,
But people in them do.

I know that you might disagree
And it’s hard for us:
Online love does not exist,
But obsession does.
