We live in a society where love becomes lust

We don't care about how a person feels

We just swipe right on a phone–

And we learn to move on to the next person

We dismiss our feelings quickly–

Because we are too embarrassed by our pride

We make it easy to just walk away

Walking becomes easier than staying

We let physicality become more important than mentality

We allow the body to make choices for us

We learn to destroy the good thing for the bad thing

We learn to like the easy way out

We live in a society where men use women

But, women also use men

We never know anyone's true intentions anymore

Everyone has a mask that will slowly fall off

We have grown accustomed to ghosting

We let this become a part of our dating culture

We don't text, we disappear

We ghost so the person knows were done

We live in a society where people are afraid

We are afraid of rejection

We are afraid of looking dumb

We are afraid of getting hurt

We find someone we like

We learn to find ways to not like them

We let negative thoughts over power our mind

We have a fear of missing out so we let them go

We live in a society where people enjoy the chase

We get a high off the feeling

We love the attention

We love the chase

We can't escape

We are in too deep

We can't change

We just can't…

But… why?

Why must we live this way?

Why do we love the chase?

Why do we not say what we feel?

Why do we ghost people?

Why do we choose lust over love?

But, most importantly…

Why do you think you live in this society….?
