This is a poem about trying to reclaim a heart that was either never mine to possess or that never existed. That would be my own heart, of course.
Love’s Algorithm
Executing
Silent devastating devotion
Protocol in
Vicious suffocating emotion
Cold boot shut down
Humiliating dedication
Exacting out
Pitiless emotional bondage
Tethering up
Retractable reaction command
Cold boot shut down
Humiliating dedication
Ramping up now
Total overpowering indifference
Wrapping up tight
Love’s sweet lifeless tyranny contract
Cold boot shut down
Humiliating dedication
Surrendering
Re-designating master as slave
Reordering
Dedication equilibrium
