Under these masks we are lonely and fearing
Desperately wanting to believe what we're hearing
We like to believe their intentions are right
Believing they're friends as we chat thru the night
We build up the image of them in our mind
Thinking they're genuine, loving and kind
But some think its cyber, its not real you see
So they make a persona, what they'd like to be
Spin their plausible yarns and deceive with their lies
And leave broken down dreams and desperate cries
But sadly so often we give of our heart
Then reality strikes and our world falls apart
Then we stare at the computer for hours on end
Not believing the actions of this so-called friend
How could they do this, they said they were true
The words flowed so easy, those words "I love you"
To some its the truth and to others, no bother
Don't answer the email, move on to another
Our shattered hearts ache, when nothing remains
We realise duplicity struck us again
Leaving minds in a whirl, and hearts in a spin
