21st century break up.

A 21st century break up,
Is painful, needless, cruel.
Modern technology makes sure
We see every little detail,
Of the aftermath,
In cold words on a monitor.

A secret 21st century break up,
Is almost unbearable.
Sarcastic digs made on Facebook,
That only you'll understand,
Because all you ever were
Was a lie.

A 21st century break up,
With messages long since forgotten.
It's not an inbox anymore, it's a thread of
'I love you baby', 'I miss you baby',
'You are everything to me',
Slowly turning into kissless, need to know messages.
'I'll be home at 6'. 'chicken for dinner'

A secret 21st century break up,
That only valued close friends know about.
But don't have the guts to admit to them,
That they were right.
That it didn't last,
That it didn't work.

And me and my bloody ideals.
Nobody can make anybody 100% happy,
But a commitment is a commitment,
And I will work on it.
And I won't give up on it,
And I'll never walk away from something that makes me safe.

A 21st century break up,
Because of 21st century problems.
Stupid Internet has ruined it all for me.
Nude pictures, soppy emails.
I'd rather be ignorant and happy,
Than going through a 21st century break up.
