Virtual Princess
Bottomless pools of nighttime green
sadly staring at her computer screen
Watching for a friend on her Buddy List
longing for the name her soul has missed
Her little heart pounding in anticipation
yet feeling her hope turning to desperation...
Her soulmate has not yet appeared
the man she knew only as SlverBeard
Wandering the aeons following her dream
watching it unravel along every seam
Hopeless as a fleeting mist in the cool night air
she slowly lowered her head in despair
As her tears fell like an autumnal cloudburst
she mournfully thought her life had been cursed
Her most dreaded fear had become a gruesome reality
'Member Unknown' had a chilling finality
When suddenly a heavy knock upon her door
and she rose and dragged herself across the floor
As she stared in disbelief, her heart was cheered
by the sight of a smiling man with a silver beard
Dedicated to Jackie
