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
