You were the blue screen that illuminated my dull life.
I didn’t think you could send so much damage.
Looking into your eyes burned my pupils.
Speaking to you made me deaf to the warning alerts-
incessantly trying to stop me from falling for you.
Finally, I revised my actions and found my error.
I tried to delete you from my life,
but that didn’t work.
You came back on various other platforms.
I tried to turn off our connection,
but you found out how to hack yourself back into my heart
and clicked it back on.
I wish I only knew the cheat code
to reverse the past.
You made yourself a key-
something essential to keeping my keyboard whole and functional.
I tried to fix it.
I tried
I tried
and I tried-
Until I gave up
and logged off
and stood up
and finally started living.
