reboot.

erase everything--the good, the profane, the ugly,
help me to forget what it was like to forget.. flash me.

disconnect my wires, unhook my soul and watch me power down,
into a dreamless, quiet, dizzy swirl of black on black.

only to flick my switch and pump my juice, listen to my rattling yawn,
and don't look so surprised--i've been used before, remember?

in fact, i've been used many times..parts of me burnt and replaced,
others ripped out while they were still wet with life and beating.

it's a blessing..and a curse and sometimes i want to meltdown and fade away,
until wisps of black smoke spill and seep through the cracks and i along with it.

i shall ride on the backs of Chaos and Envy and go anywhere but back to my shell,
but there's no hope, just artificial dreams from which i shall always awake and never die.

help me.

erase everything--the good, the profane, the ugly,
help me to forget what it was like to forget.. flash me.

disconnect my wires, unhook my soul and watch me power down,
into a dreamless, quiet, dizzy swirl of black on black.

help me.

What a treat to have something new from you. All I can say is, God, what a gift you have.

All I seem to do from day to day is stare into the innards of computers. I have begun to hate them. Can a surgeon hate his patients?
Beautiful writing, but why so dark? You've got it better than the rest of us girl. I miss it all.

I have highly developed instincts ... and right now they're telling me I have no idea what's going on.
:iconxxannaxx:
It's not really something I can control. I look at the bulk of my writing and it's usually dark. However, alot of the time when I write these things, I feel nothing OR I am actually happy.

Now, *that's* hard to explain.

I've been meaning to give this a good read for ages, but work and life got in the way so I couldn't do it justice. I like the metaphor - it's smart and somehow the poetry works, which I don't usually feel towards scientific/technological images...I find they don't translate the emotions, but here it all made sense to me. Nicely done - don't let school and work keep you from writing permanently. ( I know how easy that trap is.) :)

As usual, I was thinking about the moments of the past,
letting my memory rush over them like water
rushing over the stones on the bottom of a stream.
