I found myself lost and alone
Amidst the neon,
As my brain,
Abuzz with amphetamine,
Tried to piece together her final words.
A synthetic brilliance,
One built from binary,
Seemed to shine from within her.
Even as the blood poured past the bullet
And filled my hands.
She looked almost happy to die.
Happy to be lost to the abyss.
Happy to be disconnected.
Happy to leave me...
I don't understand it.
We built this life.
Her and I.
Together against the world.
Held close by love and radio waves.
Our own version of ones and zeroes.
She was such a radiant beauty,
Outshining the neon
Like my own personal sun.
But now that light has dimmed
And her signal is dead.
Why would she want to leave?
Why does she haunt me with a smile?
We were happy!
Weren't we?
Weren't we...
Those last words...
Cutting into me like malicious code.
It's over...
It's done...
She got what she wanted.
Death.
Disconnection.
And my own demise.
Damn her!
Damn! her!
My heart now lies in a pool of her blood!
Torn from me like meaningless filth!
She deserved worse.
How could she...
How could she destroy me with a single word?
"Finally."
