The internet is a dangerous place
For the likes of me
Man addicts
My fingers quiver, like on a trigger of a gun
to search or not
anxiety tells me the pain will go away
if I know what you are up to
one more time
find out the latest
and then I'll be satisfied
As my grandfather would tell himself
one more drink and he would stop
and all would be well
All the yous, mind you
Because there have been many
Who I loved as much as
I like my mother
which isn't much
and explains the attraction
Mining my imagination
on a storytelling journey
I could so easily slip
as I become tired
or afraid of this task
or feel unworthy of it
one small click and
I could be gone
I don't need to know anymore about the yous
yes, plural, even though we don't have that in English
There is nothing more to know
Only to replace them with something real
