"Deleted"? That's all you have to say to us? "Deleted"?

No, that's not how it works. You don't get to say "Deleted" and then slink out without so much as a "See ya!" You owe us more. So come back here, take center stage, and sing your heart out:

DELETED
(Sung to the tune of "Defeated" by Breaking Benjamin)

Never mind, I've had a change of heart
I've wiped away my words
I purged my post, I shall depart
Had something on my mind but I think that it can wait

I purged my post, I shall depart
Now feel free to sit there and wonder why

You can sit and stew all day asking where'd it go
It won't be repeated
As I walk right out the door
I'll say, Sorry folks-my post is deleted

As I go I'll leave you in suspense
Befuddled and confused
I purged my post, I shall depart

For reasons of my own
I'm tight lipped and opaque
I purged my post, I shall depart
You might be perturbed but them's the breaks

You can sit and stew all day asking where'd it go
It won't be repeated
As I walk right out the door
I'll say, Sorry folks my post is deleted

I guess you feel cheated-unfulfilled
I wasn't discreet and spilled my guts
Spilled my guts

You can sit and stew all day asking where'd it go
It won't be repeated
As I walk right out the door
I'll say, Sorry folks
My post is deleted

Charles Dana, you are indeed a talented lyricist and now a Cyber-first responder, having just saved this thread! Well done, my friend.

This one is going out to all those peeps who have felt a little under appreciated, those doing the hard dirty work behind the scenes but never getting the credit, the neglected, the sad souls, the deleted.....

....those unpublished, deleted and removed posts yearning to breath free!
