when the screen cracked,
you were there.
when the heavens fell and the
interwebs lost breath
and
the wires choked my lungs:
failure was the word you said;
all I did was
scream
when pure iron raked my
cheek.
robots hate virgins;
she takes longer to
program...
the mind control you implanted
backfired: abort abort
abort.
she,
me -
dangled from a satellite
almost relief
when my nails screeched their
song against cold steel.
you are torture:
neural connections bleed,
begging
for the monotonous symphony
to take a mortal turn...
my body hates you.
making love to metal
is like
standing bloodless in winter.

Wow...
I had to read this two or three times to get the full yebangy of it. This is some seriously intense stuff, the words you use are absolutely gorgeous and your format adds to the beauty of it severely. I'm with Stephanie on this one, keep writing, you're an absolute genius.
