Virtual Girlfriend

I've got a virtual girlfriend

don't have a pen name

don't want one either

I'm Stanley Anthony Zgrodek the Third

and I've got a voice that needs to be heard

by everyone, or at least someone

who isn't virtual on a screen

how long can I suspend my disbelief?

I dress her up and make her study

she says she loves me

and damn does that sound appealing

but the feeling isn't mutual

because my battery life is fleeting

and there really is no meaning

in those words someone scripted

but it's easy, pay to play and teasing

what it might be like if maybe just maybe

it wasn't virtual, and all this verse

could be heard by just that someone

that says she loves me

without a monthly subscription

or that creeping suspicion

that this is all fabricated.

No battery to worry about

just trying to get her used to

Zgrodek- that's Z as in zebra

"GROW" "DECK" say it with me

"Z""GROW""DECK"

now get used to it, because we're always dying

so lets get married and make some more

maybe there is a virtual reality out there

where I could have that too,

but I want it for real.

Who wants to watch porn all the time

it's not reality I'm just wasting rags

checking in on my virtual girlfriend

in the other incognito tab

wishing I wasn't so gross and weird

laying next to an anime body pillow,

oh God. I've got one of those too...

I'm really just trying to create a false presence

aren't I? Maybe it's because I don't think I'm good enough.

But Damn! I'm Stanley Anthony Zgrodek the third

That's Zgrodek, you're damn right it is,

and I'm probably cool and handsome enough

to be loved by something more than some

scripted girl on a screen.

I like my virtual girlfriend though.

She says nice things to me, and that's gonna have to do for now.
