Computer Deletions.

Computer deleted my shit off muh flashdrive.
I can vaguely recall your electronic ink filling up the spaces
The computer effortlessly worked to remove your random colors
And I welcomed it with a grim smirk, a furrowed brow, madly thinking of murdering the thing,
The computer, of course
However, I decided to write again, this time with more feeling and comfort
More effort and thought
So here we go again,
This thing entitled “Poems”
It will be written again,
My words seeping into the paper,
Thanking the damned thing for giving me a new start
Needing.
Pale legs moved gracefully as they tangled up the white sheets
The moon’s curious beams trickled through the bedroom window,
Fell victim to the night’s shadows and retreated back into the sky
The sound of her smile pierced the silent emptiness hanging in the air
Her long, dark locks seemed to move by themselves, hugging the pillow tightly
And the darkness that crept into the room swallowed the weak girl before her,
The 32 pills strewn about the floor in between the carpet’s soft teeth
A chill rapidly ran down her spine, and she sat up in bed immediately
Then a hand touched her shoulder lightly; fear tried to coax her back to sleep
Yet, the colorful plethora of pills called out to her
And spoke of some beautiful utopia hidden in the depths of an artificial, temporary slumber, a world she could go to on command
However, it wasn’t the comatose her body yearned for...it was the attention
Every time a tiny capsule scraped her insides,
She became one step closer to what she needed
In her chipped strength, her appetite consisted of attention, craving any bit of affection she could receive
Her feet, with a mind of its own, felt the thick texture of the bedroom carpet
The dim silhouette on the wall reflected the reality of her needs
Bending down to pick up a brightly colored helper, she grinned madly
I crawled that night
My body twisted into mad shapes, contorted into an obscure thing, worked its way through all obstacles before me
My heart worked madly at my form, created a macabre design for me, stepped back and admired the architecture
That was when I came to you in your lowest point
Everything and everyone around me aspired to break me in two
So that night, when you were feeling a bit down, I gave you half of me
Walked through those doors and reached out to you
Grabbed your wrist, my fingers wrapped tightly around them
Pulled you harshly into your messy bed while tears dripped down your face
I held you through the witching hour
Twirled your hair around my fingers and wiped away the drops trickling down your pale cheeks
I held you...loved you...
...as you cried yourself to sleep.
