Heart Strings

My Vascular ***** to an Animate Object is threadbare.

This Thing is at my center, this insubstantial machine isn't connected.

So neglected, It sits. Fragile and feeble and splintered and split.

And here I will be,

Captivated again by your ameteur refurbishment. You remedy and patch.

But I know what you are. The grim orange streetlamps illuminate you.

And you devour.

And I drown and I loose my breath as I give in and I am absorbed completely.

Soggy, damp, and oh, so obsessed.

And as expected, nothing tangible remains, just a wreched spectre, a terrible being. Not an animate.

My Vascular ***** will sit and stare and will remain threadbare.
