An illustrated verse from my poem One More Chance about a doomed long-distance relationship I had many moons ago.

This particular star-crossed romance started in a mid-noughties Internet chatroom, played out over three intense months (in both cyber– and meatspace) and – *spoiler alert* – ended in heartbreak.

The poem explores online dating, long-distance relationships (LDRs), rejection, depression and unrequited love in the digital age.

You can read the whole poem, and lots more original poetry, in my Online Poetry Collection.
