Ode to the DLB by *InuYokai:iconInuYokai:



Once, far away
In a time long past
In the land of Gaia, in fact
There was a bar,
And it was a bar of dysfunctional love
And it was called the DLB

This bar began,
One fateful day
When ChibiLady went on her way
Through CB
But she fell to her knees
And, anguished, she screamed
“Why, oh mods, have you left me?
Why is there no safety in CB?
Why is it that when I look around, all I see
Are n00bs and idiots,
Around me,
The bumping and begging,
It makes me scream,
What have I done?!
Why have you forsaken me!?”

As she roamed, lost,
Alone and afraid,
She stumbled upon a button
At the top of the page
And the words which it read
Almost made tears come to her eyes
“Create new thread”
Is what that button said.
So she clicked it, and
In the blink of an eye
She’d created a thread
Most CBer’s did not recognize
She called it the DLB,
And in co-ownership, well
That was me.

I took a stop in
Took a long around
But didn’t stay long
I had to make my rounds
To all the threads filled with people I knew
And while I was away, the DLB grew.

Within the first day
She had some employees.
And I shall give
Their names and shit

Silver
A girl,
All the boys loved

Gene,
The bartend
He was attractive
Handsome as can be
And such a flirt, I swear
I have never seen

And then there was Sumu,
Possibly at some later date

But by the time I got back,
They were the regs.

Sumu and I were friends,
I think,
Right off the bat
But I didn’t think
That Gene was all that.

I hung around,
And hated silver
The way all us girls did.
She was dramatic
Whore-ish
And a complete bitch.

Gene loved her
As boys tend to do
When a girl
Will do anything
Just to please you.

But enough with that
Eventually he began to see
And though we all liked him,
He picked Sumu over me,
And I think, Chibi.

A cuter couple,
I never have seen
But eventually they, too,
Were no more.

And somewhere along the line,
I almost forgot,
Ol’ Sephy came in
And got himself a job

And he and I, well,
We began to date
On and off for ten months
Oh, the love!
Oh, the hate!

And, oh!
The places you go,
If you have all of
Your friends in tow.

We continued on,
For over a year,
But by that time,
The end was clear.

We still haven’t exhausted
The drunken fights,
Or the hate
When n00bs came in
And made themselves bait.

And we’ll never forget the tears
Or the broken hearts.

And the drama!
The drama!
Just like the stage
But it came to an end;
Gaia has it’s ways.
It erased our pages,
And messed with our codes
And so we left our dear thread behind.

But we all took something away with us
And we’ll never forget
The friends that we made,
Or the things that were said
And though the DLB was gone
It still lived on
In our hearts and minds

The thing I’m sure
We remember the most
Is that the DLB
Was the best place on earth.

Something I talked about with a friend.
This is an ode written to a place I used to hang out on my favorite website,
the Dysfunctional Love Bar @ Gaiaonline.com.
We will not forget.

That made me cry.
But then again, right now, everything is making me cry.

I'll be loving you, always.
