I visited your profile
For the first time today
And there I found
In your buddy list
A number of women
And, strangely,
No men.
Although we have made
No committments
To each other,
I am wondering once again
What am I
To you?
I am not hurt, exactly,
For I do not begrudge you
Feminine friendships,
But I need to know
If I am just a face
In a crowd,
One more body
In a cyber harem,
Or, worse,
A mere receptacle
For your lust.
You see,
I am a woman
Who makes few demands
In the beginning, but these:
Respect,
Recognition of my individuality,
and Honesty.
As the warning goes,
Do not toy with me.
I detest goodbyes
But I will not hesitate
To use them.
