Ghosted Connections

Scrolling through the bright screens,

A modern dance of chance it seems,

Fingers swipe, hearts fall, do we even try at all?

Profiles stacked like cards on a table,

What’s your story? Are you really able?

Catch my eye with a smile or two,

But deep down I’m scared of losing you.

Beneath the surface, we’re all afraid,

Of ghosted dreams and choices made,

In the flood of faces, I guess I’ll wait,

Will the sparks connect or just dissipate?

Swiping left, swiping right,

Feels like a game, chasing light,

Who’s the one who’ll play it true?

Or am I just a name to you?

With every match, a chance to fade,

Tangled in this serenade.

Photos polished, filters in play,

But do they see the real me today?

Words in bios can twist and spin,

Will you vibe with my heart and let me in?

Behind the screens, it’s hard to trust,

Will we click? Or is it just lust?

In a world of options, feeling confined,

What if I’m losing my peace of mind?

Swiping left, swiping right,

Feels like a game, chasing light,

Who’s the one who’ll play it true?

Or am I just a name to you?

With every match, a chance to fade,

Tangled in this serenade.

Caught in this cycle, so hard to break,

Echoes of laughter and hearts at stake,

Moments that linger, then slip away,

Fading connections, what will they say?

So here I am, swiping but still,

Hoping for more than just the thrill,

Can we find warmth in this byte-sized town?

Or will we both keep singing alone?
