virtual toy
meant to heighten
and arouse
deep-seated needs
never shared
left swipe
right swipe
dismissing or picking
what suits your fantasy
and longing
hoping this stranger will want you
dreaming of scenarios
jerking off
whatever self-esteem
you have left
titillating stimulation
brought havoc
for the only lusty one
actually
wanting you
