You’re the only one,
that visits every day.
My series on the top ten things to see in Margate Bay
remains unfinished.
But you don’t care
that I gave up at number two.
It’s all the same to you.

I tagged each post
in exactly the right way
Still your index of my dreams and of all I try to say
remains unfound.
But I don’t care
that no-one else will see.
It’s all the same to me.

I’ve tried to talk
tried to share, make connections through the air,
Me and this girl from South Korea once swapped likes!
But next day, hers was gone.
My stats went back to one.

So,
now that we’re friends
you should know
There’s no-one else for me to talk to even though
you’re just a bot.
Just don’t be shocked
if next time you come around
It says 404 not found.

  Thank God there are other people who liked this, for a minute I thought I was the only one following your blog and felt very guilty! I do so much like poetry which gets to the point!

    Haha, don’t worry. This is what passes for a sense of humour in my house. Don’t take it too seriously :)
