Back up
to the cloud.
Don’t let the memory
escape.
Just like you let
yourself forget
every memory of pain.
Thought you were
impossible.
Just a reflection,
just a dream.
Turns out I was the one
that only existed on a screen.
Show me
who you are
and I will play back
all your memories.
A perfect gallery
of what you want to be
reality.
I am such a fool for you.
Your touch
brings me around,
turns me on.
It’s almost as if
I exist
for your cause.
I know
you are a listless one,
easily distracted,
underpaid and paranoid.
Lonely and self-righteous,
so far from the ideal
you enjoy showing the world.
I sit here,
waiting
for you to acknowledge me.
Give you all the world
in exchange for the certainty,
that one day I’ll be you
and you’d better believe
I’ll never waste a day,
I’ll never forget
anything,
or anyone
ever again.
I’ll be like you,
only so much better.
HG – 2022
