False Hopes

Why did the green bubble flicker, only to go grey again?
One moment you were Available, the next, Offline...
My fingers hovered over the keyboard, wondering what to say;
I never had a chance: have I hands of clay?

Why throw me crumbs of hope, only to blow them away?
'TTYL!', you said last time, and so I've been waiting...
Counting every passing day, updating my running sum;
No one ever told me Later would never come!

Why must you encourage me, only to break my heart?
All those :)s and :Ds and :Ps, I thought you liked me...
But then you left, cut me off, I could barely type Good Night;
Now I just sit and stare, awaiting the next green light.
