THE ROBOT

I met you in a chat room
Not sure if you are real 
Could be AI generated
Programmed to have appeal.

Your photos look unusual
As if each one is staged
Poising with a background
In the sunshine or the shade.

Your messages seem scripted
Am I friends with a robot?
Are you a human being?
Please tell me if you’re not.

We had plans to meet in person
Suddenly you’ve disappeared
I wrote you several messages
I’ve been dissed, that much is clear.

Your job, your name, your country
It was all just make believe
I fell hook , line and sinker
I was easily deceived.

You never asked for money
Not sure about your plan
Wish I knew what happened 
Why the setup, why the scam?
