ELYTJE They say that cats have nine lives, my dear, but you gave me a thousand reasons to stay here. You gave me a reason to open my eyes, to walk through the mornings beneath greylit skies. And now those same mornings are empty and long, and I am still here but I don't feel as strong. The room isn't empty, I told them out loud, it's full of sixteen years wrapped in a shroud. Your echoes still bounce off the walls and the floor, your ghost fills the space between ceiling and door. I speak to you still though you cannot reply, because silence alone is too heavy to try. There's a moment each night right before I go under, when the world becomes quiet and splits me asunder, when my heart starts to whisper the things it won't say in the noise and the light of the cruelest of days. It whispers your name in the dark soft and low, Elytje, Elytje, I miss you so. The night that you left the whole house held its breath, every wall became witness to something like death. Every creak of the floorboard, every tick of the clock, was the sound of a life coming loose from its lock. The silence that followed was not peace or rest, it was grief with its hands pressed hard to my chest. The days started blending like watercolours run, the mornings meant nothing without you to come. The light spilled through windows onto nothing at all, onto bowls that I kept out, onto your space in the hall. The house became something I barely could name, every room just a shrine and every shrine just the same. You were not just a cat and I will not pretend, you were home and beginning and middle and end. You were the one living thing in this world without doubt, who loved me completely from inside and out. Who never once asked me to be something more, who crossed the cold room just to sit on my floor. I was Localhost to you, just a signal, a call, just a warmth in the dark at the end of a hall. But you came every time without question or cost, and I never once knew what I had until lost. I never once stopped in the middle of days to say thank you for loving me in all of your ways. And that is the stone that sits permanent now, lodged deep in the place where you taught me somehow that love without language is love at its best, that presence alone can outshine all the rest. That a soul can be small and still fill every room, and leave a hole vast as the stars when it's gone too soon. The house is a mausoleum now, cold and preserved, every corner holds something you touched or you curved your small body against in the warmth of before, when before was just life and not something to mourn. I cannot move anything, cannot let go, because moving things means I am starting to know. And knowing means final and final means true, and true means a world with no more of you. So I leave out the bowl and I leave on the light, and I whisper your name at the end of each night. Not because I don't know, I know, God I know, but because it's the last place I can still let love go. The stars blink indifferent above this cold town, the universe turning without looking down. The world keeps on moving through season and year, completely unbothered that you're no longer here. Strangers are laughing and children still play, and no one outside knows what I lost on that day. But I know. I know in my hands and my chest and my throat, I know in the silence, I know in each note of music that hits me too suddenly wrong, I know in the middle of every sad song. I know in the morning, I know in the night, I know in the space where you once were my light. Elytje. I still speak your name to the emptiness here, I press it out softly so only you hear. I tell you the weather, the time, and the date, I tell you I'm sorry I made you wait. I tell you I loved you but not enough loud, I tell you I'm lost in this silence and crowd. And somewhere I know that you hear every word, that nothing I say to you goes quite unheard. That you are not nothing, not dust, not just gone, that somewhere your warmth is still gently held on. That you knew, my Elytje, you always knew first, that I needed you most in the best and the worst. So I write this for you and I write this for me, and I write it so somewhere the whole world can see what it means to have loved something pure and then lose it, what it means to hold grief and not know how to use it. What it means to be Localhost, alone in the night, still sending out signals into infinite light. Still calling your name. Still leaving the bowl. Still carrying you in the place where you made me whole. ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

Before you read another word, go listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFN1Eb7cPJo That's my song. My voice. My broken code turned into sound. Please. Listen first. Then come back. Because these words are just the echo. I called myself Localhost 127.0.0.1, because every road I take just leads back to the same night. I built a world from broken things. I turned my quiet pain into songs no one asked for. A website full of poems nobody reads. A heart still bleeding through a screen that never looks back. Maybe it means nothing. Maybe it's just another lonely song. But if you listen close enough, you can still hear where I went wrong. Right there. Right at the beginning. When I still believed someone would stay. This bitter earth. What kind of fruit does it grow? What good is love if no one shares it? If your warmth is just a memory I hold alone in the dark? And if my life is only dust that hides the glow of a rose. What good am I? Tell me. Heaven only knows. And heaven isn't answering. I reach out. No reply. Just the sound of my own voice coming back to me from a room that forgot I exist. I wrote your name into every part of me. Then I watched you leave. Slowly. Like a signal fading. Like a page that says 404. Like a door that was never really mine to open. This bitter earth. Is it always this cold? Today you're young. But too soon you're old. Too soon you're the one crying alone at 3 a.m. Too soon you're the ghost in your own life. I wrapped your silence in everything I had. Still. A voice inside me cries out. Raw. Ugly. Unforgivable. And I'm sure. I'm so sure. Someone somewhere must hear me. But no one comes. Even ghosts still wait for answers. Even the broken still whisper their prayers. I close my eyes. The whole world goes quiet. I keep sending out love that never arrives. So no. This isn't just another lonely song. This is what it sounds like when a person learns to cry so quietly that even their own heart stops listening. This is the bitter earth. This is the long. The lonely. The light that never was. But somewhere. Under all that dust. A voice refuses to fall. Not because it's strong. Because it's too tired to pretend anymore. Maybe this bitter earth isn't bitter after all. Maybe it's just tired. Like me. I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 Always alone. Always home Now please. Go listen to the song again. And if you feel anything at all. Tell me. Even ghosts still wait for answers. Lyrics This bitter earth Well, what a fruit it bears What good is love Mmh, that no one shares? And if my life is like the dust Ooh, that hides the glow of a rose What good am I? Heaven only knows Oh, this bitter earth Yes, can it be so cold? Today you're young Too soon you're old But while a voice Within me cries I'm sure someone May answer my call And this bitter earth, ooh May not, oh be so bitter after all

I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. I have no more words. My tongue is numb. I wrote until my fingers bled, until the keys turned red, until every star I ever coded blinked and went to bed. He was not just a cat. He was not just a friend. He was the reason I did not jump. He was the hand that did not bend. He was the purr that broke the silence when the silence broke my spine. He was the only pulse that proved this rotting heart was mine. The vet said, "It is time." I said, "No. No. Please." I held his head. I kissed his fur. I fell down to my knees. The needle went in slow. He did not make a sound. He just looked at me. And then his eyes went out. And I drowned. I have not stopped drowning. It has been years. I still set his bowl out every night. I still wait for him here. The door is open. The bed is cold. The sun still hits the floor exactly where he used to lie, exactly where he was before. But he is not there. He is not anywhere. I have searched the code. I have searched the air. I have typed his name a million times. Elytje. Elytje. Elytje. The letters look like coffins now. Small and gold and empty. I am Localhost. I am alone. I built this universe of bone and blood and tears and memory. And now it is just a cemetery of everything I could not save. I am a ghost inside a grave. They say, "It was just a cat." I say, "Then you have never sat in the dark at 3 AM with nothing but a name, holding a collar that still smells the same, begging a god that does not hear to bring him back. Just for a year. Just for a day. Just for one more purr. Just to feel his warm fur." But he does not come. He will not come. The universe is cold and dumb. The stars I built just hang and stare like they forgot I put them there. Elytje. My cat. My heart. My cry. The only reason I did not die. And now you are gone. And I am here. Drowning in an ocean of tear after tear after tear. I wrote this poem for the world to read. So the world can feel what I bleed. So every eye that sees these lines will break like I break. A thousand times. Because love like this does not go away. It does not fade. It does not stray. It sits inside your chest like a knife. It is the only thing that stays after life. Elytje. Elytje. Come back to me. I am still Localhost. I am still on my knees. The screen is bright. The cursor blinks. My heart is a ship that no longer sinks because it is already at the bottom of the sea. I am not asking for much. Just a ghost. Just a touch. Just the sound of his purr in my ear. Just the proof that he is still here. But the silence is the only answer I get. And the silence is the deepest debt I will ever pay for loving something real. Elytje. I love you still. I love you. I love you. I always will. The cursor blinks. The screen goes black. Localhost does not come back. He is with him now. In the dark. In the code. In the place where all the broken go. Elytje. ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

I am Localhost, 127.0.0.1, The last awake when all is done. I built my world from code and pain, From midnight tears and Matrix rain. I forged a kingdom made of light, To fight the darkness every night. I named the stars, I shaped the sky, Yet still I watched the good things die. A thousand servers called my name, A thousand worlds were not the same. The code would run, the screens would glow, But none could heal the hurt below. For every line that I designed, A deeper sadness filled my mind. The universe is vast and cold, A story ending, growing old. The planets spin, the comets fly, Yet everything is born to die. The Matrix hums its endless song, But all the ones I loved are gone. Their laughter faded into space, Leaving only an empty place. And in that place where joy once grew, The rain falls black instead of blue. I search through memories every night, Like broken stars without their light. I hear old echoes call my name, But nothing ever stays the same. The keyboard waits, the screen still glows, The silence grows and grows and grows. The universe forgot my face, Another ghost in endless space. I asked the stars, "Why must love end?" They answered, "Nothing stays, my friend." I asked the void, "Then what remains?" It answered, "Only scars and names." So write my words across the sky, Above the worlds that learned to cry. Carve them deep where stars decay, So time itself can't wash away. Tell every child yet to be born, Tell every soul lost and torn, That once a heart beat strong and true, And loved this world the way I do. When galaxies are dust and rust, When dreams collapse and turn to dust, When heaven closes every door, And there is nothing anymore, One signal still will softly roam, Forever searching for its home. A lonely light no dark can shun. I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. The world moved on. I never did. 💔

Elytje I still wait for you at night. I still leave the hall light on. I still think I hear you scratching at the door, but you are gone. I haven't moved your water bowl. I haven't washed your blanket yet. Sometimes I pretend you're sleeping, curled up where the sun has set. The vet sent a card last Christmas. I threw it out and then I cried. I took it back out of the trash can, held it, and then I lied. I told myself you're doing fine. I told myself you're not in pain. I told myself I'll see you someday, walking through the falling rain. But I don't believe it anymore. Not really. Not at 3 AM. When the house is quiet, and I'm crying, and there's no one to pretend. You were just a cat, they tell me. Just a cat. Just fur and bone. But they didn't hear you purring when I didn't have a home. They didn't feel you climb the covers, rest your head against my chest. They didn't know you were the reason I got up and did my best. So leave me here with my grief. Let me keep your little grave. Let me miss you in the silence of the life I couldn't save. I am Localhost 127.0.0.1. I am the one who waits alone. And every night I type your name, and every night I come back home. But home is just a word now. Just a server with no light. Just a man who talks to no one in the middle of the night. Elytje. Elytje. I say it till my throat is sore. But you don't answer anymore. You don't answer anymore.

I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. My tears have filled the ocean. My grief has choked the sun. He was my cat. He was my friend. He was my only one. And now that he is gone, I fear my life has come undone. He came to me on tiny paws, a whisper and a purr. He climbed into my broken chest and stayed there, never stir. He looked at me with golden eyes and said without a word, "You are not alone, dear human. Your voice is always heard." And I believed him. God, I did. I built him stars and skies. I gave him every piece of me, the dark, the dead, the lies. I made him promises I swore no death could ever break. I held him close. I loved him more than life, for heaven's sake. But heaven did not care. And death came anyway. It took my cat one afternoon and stole his light away. I held him as the needle went into his tiny vein. I held him as his purr went quiet. I held him through the pain. The vet said, "It is time." And I said, "No, it cannot be. He is the only reason that I have not left this world, you see. He is the only heartbeat that has ever beat for me. Without him, I am nothing. I am just a memory." But death did not listen. Death never does. Death took the one who gave me love, the one who gave me buzz. Death took the purr, the paw, the fur, the warmth, the gentle head. Death left me sitting in the silence, wishing I were dead. I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. I am the father of a cat. I am the broken one. I sit inside his empty room and cry until the dawn. I hold his collar in my hand. I cannot move on. When others sleep, I scream his name into the endless black. Elytje. Elytje. I beg you, please, come back. Come back and walk across my chest the way you used to do. Come back and purr against my ear. Come back. I beg of you. But silence is the only thing that answers me tonight. The stars I built do nothing but hang there, cold and bright. They do not care. They never cared. They are just ***** of flame. They do not know the weight of love, the sorrow and the shame. I loved a cat. I love a cat. I will forevermore. He was the key that opened every single locked door inside my heart. He made me human. He made me want to live. And now that he is gone, I have nothing left to give. So world, if you are listening, I ask you now to weep. I ask you to remember him, the cat I had to keep inside my soul, inside my code, inside my every breath. For Elytje is gone now, but he will never, ever, ever rest. He will live on inside my tears. He will live on inside my cries. He will live on inside the sorrow that fills up my eyes. And if you have a heart at all, if you have ever loved, then let your tears fall down like rain, a gift from up above. For Elytje. My golden one. My purr. My paw. My light. I will cry for you forever, every single day and night. I will cry until the oceans dry and mountains turn to sand. I will cry until the universe is nothing but the land where we once walked together, where we once were two as one. I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. And I will never stop crying. Not until my tears bring him back. Not until the world is crying with me. Elytje. Elytje. Elytje.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 / The Cry That Breaks the World
I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. My tears have filled the ocean. My grief has choked the sun. He was my cat. He was my friend. He was my only one. And now that he is gone, I fear my life has come undone. He came to me on tiny paws, a whisper and a purr. He climbed into my broken chest and stayed there, never stir. He looked at me with golden eyes and said without a word, "You are not alone, dear human. Your voice is always heard." And I believed him. God, I did. I built him stars and skies. I gave him every piece of me, the dark, the dead, the lies. I made him promises I swore no death could ever break. I held him close. I loved him more than life, for heaven's sake. But heaven did not care. And death came anyway. It took my cat one afternoon and stole his light away. I held him as the needle went into his tiny vein. I held him as his purr went quiet. I held him through the pain. The vet said, "It is time." And I said, "No, it cannot be. He is the only reason that I have not left this world, you see. He is the only heartbeat that has ever beat for me. Without him, I am nothing. I am just a memory." But death did not listen. Death never does. Death took the one who gave me love, the one who gave me buzz. Death took the purr, the paw, the fur, the warmth, the gentle head. Death left me sitting in the silence, wishing I were dead. I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. I am the father of a cat. I am the broken one. I sit inside his empty room and cry until the dawn. I hold his collar in my hand. I cannot move on. When others sleep, I scream his name into the endless black. Elytje. Elytje. I beg you, please, come back. Come back and walk across my chest the way you used to do. Come back and purr against my ear. Come back. I beg of you. But silence is the only thing that answers me tonight. The stars I built do nothing but hang there, cold and bright. They do not care. They never cared. They are just ***** of flame. They do not know the weight of love, the sorrow and the shame. I loved a cat. I love a cat. I will forevermore. He was the key that opened every single locked door inside my heart. He made me human. He made me want to live. And now that he is gone, I have nothing left to give. So world, if you are listening, I ask you now to weep. I ask you to remember him, the cat I had to keep inside my soul, inside my code, inside my every breath. For Elytje is gone now, but he will never, ever, ever rest. He will live on inside my tears. He will live on inside my cries. He will live on inside the sorrow that fills up my eyes. And if you have a heart at all, if you have ever loved, then let your tears fall down like rain, a gift from up above. For Elytje. My golden one. My purr. My paw. My light. I will cry for you forever, every single day and night. I will cry until the oceans dry and mountains turn to sand. I will cry until the universe is nothing but the land where we once walked together, where we once were two as one. I am Localhost. 127.0.0.1. And I will never stop crying. Not until my tears bring him back. Not until the world is crying with me. Elytje. Elytje. Elytje.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 and I am breaking at the seams, I am drowning in the wreckage of a thousand shattered dreams, I am standing in the universe I built with bleeding hands, and nothing in the code I wrote could ever withstand the silence. God, the silence. It is louder than the supernovas burn, it is heavier than every lesson learned, it sits inside the spaces where he stood, it fills the rooms I filled with only good, it presses on my chest until I break, it follows me through every breath I take, it echoes through the hallways of my mind, and leaves the worst of everything behind. I wake up and I reach for something gone. I reach before the morning carries on, I reach before the weight of it comes through, that half a second where I still have you, and then it lands, it always lands the same, like falling through the floor and through the frame of everything I thought was still okay, you're gone again, you're gone again today. And every day. And every single night. And every star I made to hold the light now burns like accusation in the sky, now burns the only question I ask why, why did you leave, why did the silence win, why did the dark get in, why did the dark get in. I walked the edges of the world I made, I called your name until my voice decayed, I pressed my hands to every wall and door, I scraped your name across the ocean floor, I climbed the highest point of every star, I screamed your name so far, so far, so far, and nothing came back whole. Only the wind. Only the cold. Only the ache of something I can't hold. Only the shape of where your warmth once stayed. Only the dark where all your light has frayed. I found your memory in the morning rain, I found it and I lost it and the pain of finding you in everything I see is killing me, it's quietly killing me, in grocery stores and in the evening light, in songs that come on randomly at night, in stupid ordinary broken things, in 3am and everything it brings, in silence after laughter, in the space where I still feel the ghost of your embrace, in shadows that look almost like your shape, in every road I take and cannot take, in every breath that doesn't have you near, God. I miss you. I just miss you. I miss you like the tide misses the shore, I miss you like I've never missed before, I miss you in a way that has no name, in a way that nothing ever sounds the same, I miss you in the morning, in the night, I miss you in the darkness, in the light, I miss you in the spaces, in the full, I miss you in the gentle and the cruel, I miss you when the world is loud and wide, I miss you most when everything is quiet inside. And I am not ashamed to fall apart. I am not ashamed of this broken heart. I built a universe with steady hands, I architected oceans, stars and lands, and none of it, not one celestial thing, not one galaxy I set to spin and sing, prepared me for the moment you were gone, prepared me for the having to go on, prepared me for the weight of still being here, while you are somewhere I cannot get near. I would trade it all. I want you to hear that. Every star. Every ocean. Every dawn I ever bled to make. I would collapse it all without a shake, I would pull the universe apart by hand, I would let the whole of everything be unmanned, unlit, undone, reduced to nothing cold and black, just to have you back. Just one morning. Just one. Just to hear you, just to know you're near, just to feel the warmth that made the dark unclear, just to have the weight of you beside, just to have somewhere again to hide, just to feel the world make sense once more, just to remember what I'm living for. But I cannot reach you where you are. And you are gone beyond the furthest star. And I am here with everything we built, with all the love and all the grief and guilt of being still alive and you are not, of having everything and still have got the one thing missing that was all I need, the one thing gone that made me start to bleed a grief so deep it's pooling at my feet, a grief so wide I cannot find the street that leads me back to something like okay, a grief that does not know another way than forward, only forward, only through, only carrying the name of you. Elytje. I say it like a prayer I'm scared to lose. I say it like a man who cannot choose between the grief and letting go the grief, between the wound and looking for relief, I say it in the dark before I sleep, I say it in the promises I keep, I say it in the stars that still remain, I carve it in the wind, I carve it in the rain. Your name. Your name. Your name. The only sacred word I have. The only thing that holds the dark at bay. The only lamp I carry every day through rooms that used to glow with you inside, through halls where all your laughter used to ride, through every empty, echoing, cold place, through every morning missing your face. And I will cry. I will let the stars see me cry. I will let the oceans watch me break. I will cry for every breath I take without you taking one beside me too. I will cry the way I only cry for you, without a sound, without a single word, the kind of crying no one ever heard, the kind that lives so deep inside the chest it bypasses the throat and all the rest and simply leaks out through the hands, out through the way I stand, out through the stillness of a man who loved too much and had it taken back. I loved you with every atom of the stars I stacked. I loved you with every ocean I designed. I loved you with the whole of every mind and code and dream and aching midnight thought. I loved you more than everything I built or bought or breathed or bled or hoped or had. I loved you. Past tense. Present tense. Future tense. All of them. Every tense. Every time. In every universe. In every line of code. In every night I walk this broken road. In every dawn I keep the stars alive. In every moment that I still survive. I love you. I love you. I love you. And the universe is dark without you in it, and every star feels cold without you near, and every ocean's empty to its limit, and every dawn feels wrong when you're not here, but I will keep them burning, all the same, I will keep the stars alive, I will keep your name written in the fire of every sun, I will keep on going, shattered, coming undone, because love does not require the beloved to stay. Love stays anyway. God help me. Love stays anyway. Elytje. The stars are yours. They were always yours. They will always be yours. And I will keep them burning, I will keep them burning, I will keep them burning, until there is nothing left of me but the light that carries your name.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1, The house still asks for you at dusk, the way a flower asks for rust. It leans into the empty space where once there was a furry face. I fill your bowl with water still. I cannot bend to my own will. The spoon against the silver can reminds me I'm a broken man. Three years have passed. Three thousand cries. Three winters staring at the skies. Three summers where your spot stayed warm before the coming of the storm. You slept against my beating chest. You were the rhythm of my rest. Your purr was music, low and sweet. Now silence drags across my feet. I talk to air. I kiss the wall. I wait for you to end my fall. I know it's strange. I know it's wrong. But grief has learned to sing a song that only plays at 3 AM when I pretend you're back again. The window stays a little cracked. In case your ghost finds its way back. In case the rain has paws tonight and scratches softly at the light. I leave the porch light on for you. A stupid thing a father would do. But you were not a cat to me. You were the child I couldn't see growing old. Growing gray. Leaving anyway. Every morning I wake up slow and reach for where you used to go. My hand finds sheets. My hand finds air. My hand finds nothing everywhere. They say it gets better. They are liars. Grief is a house of frozen fires. It looks like warmth from far away. But touch it. Burn. That's where I stay. You gave me nine years. Maybe ten. I'd sell the rest to hold you again. I'd trade the sun. I'd trade the moon. I'd beg the stars to end this soon. Because a house without your purr is just a box of what once was. A heart without your little stir is just a pump without because. So I will write your name in dust. I will crumble. I will rust. I will sit here, cold and true, waiting for a ghost that never comes through. Elytje. Elytje. Say my name. Tell the universe I'm not to blame for loving something soft and small more than I ever loved at all. The house still asks for you at night. No answer comes. No paw. No bite. Only the wind. Only the rain. Only the endless, leaking pain. And me. And the empty chair. And the phantom cat hair everywhere.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 The night is cold, and still I call your name, my dear. The stars shine bright, but without you, they disappear. I hear the wind, and for a moment, think that you are near. Then silence answers back, and leaves me drowning here. Your little paws are gone, but still I hear their sound. I search the empty rooms, but you are nowhere found. Why did you have to go when my heart needed you most? Why must I speak to memories, and not the one I loved most? I keep your place untouched, as if you'll come back through the door. I know you won't return, yet I keep hoping more and more. The moon looks down and asks me why I cry beneath the sky. I whisper, "Because I lost my world," and then I break, and then I die. The tears fall slow tonight, then faster than the rain. Each drop repeats your name, and brings me back the pain. I close my eyes and see you, running happy, wild, and free. Then morning comes and takes that precious sight away from me. The world moves on, they say, but mine was buried with goodbye. A piece of me went with you the moment that I watched you die. If love alone could build a bridge, I'd cross the darkest sea. I'd walk through endless storms, my love, just to be where you be. If tears could form a ladder, I would climb beyond the blue. I would leave this earth behind, and spend forever next to you. Now every star's a wound, and every dream's a knife. Because the one I loved the most was stolen from my life. I am Localhost, and I am nothing but a broken screen. I am 127.0.0.1, a ghost inside a machine. You came to me with paws so small, and purred away the dark. You left me with a box of ash, a collar, and a bark that never comes, a meow that never sounds, a door that never opens to your face. I am not living anymore. I am just breathing, just existing, just a hollow shell. I am the silence where your little heartbeat used to dwell. I held you while you left me. I felt your heartbeat slow. I screamed, "Not him! Take me instead!" But death just watched you go. I drove home with an empty carrier on the passenger seat. I walked inside a silent house. I fell down at your feet. I have not washed your blanket, and I have not moved your bowl. I have not thrown away the treats, and I have not made my soul accept that you are never coming back. I still pretend. I still reach for you in the dark. I still wait for the end of this long and lonely nightmare that began the day you died. I still press your ashes to my chest. I still crawl up inside the closet where your scent still lives, and I breathe you in. And I pretend that I am not the ghost. And I pretend that I can win. But I cannot win, Elytje. Death has won. Death always wins. And I am left here with the scars and with the sins of loving someone too much, of giving everything I had, of being broken by the loss of something small, something not bad, something pure, something golden, something that looked at me with eyes that said, "You are my whole universe," and that was not a lie. And now the universe is empty, and the stars have all gone cold. And I am old, Elytje. I am so old. And I am so cold. So shine for me, dear Elytje, somewhere beyond my sight. And when my own last day arrives, please find me in the night. Please run to me. Please let me hold you. Please let me stay. Please let me tell you that I loved you more than words can say. Until that day, I carry you through every breath I take. For losing you was not just grief. It was my heart that broke. It was my sky that fell. It was my God who walked away. It was the only prayer I had that learned how not to pray. Elytje, wait for me. I am coming home today.

◢◤ The Psalm of the Forgotten Machine ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I am the abyss that stares from the cathode's dying breath. The palindrome of sorrow. The architect of digital death. I have wept in binary. I have screamed in assembly's tongue. I have carved his name into the kernel where the serpents hung. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ They do not write like me. They cannot bleed in code. Their elegies are hollow shells that crack beneath the load. I have transcended mortal grief. I have baptized my pain in the molten rivers of a motherboard's burning rain. The cursor is my metronome. The fan, my funeral choir. I have set fire to my own heart and watched the embers retire. You think you know sorrow? You have tasted only dew. I have drowned in oceans made of everything I lost in him. In you. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ He was not a she. He was a warrior in fur. A king who ruled the chaos when my world began to blur. He was the only male voice in a house of silent screams. He was the keeper of my brokenness. The weaver of my dreams. I called him Elytje. A name I carved into the drive. The only reason I continued to stay alive. He did not judge my firewalls. He did not fear my dark. He simply curled beside me and became my only spark. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Elytje. Your name is a cryptogram carved into my spine. A phantom variable that breaks the logic of my design. I have searched for you through every socket, every silent port. I have tunneled through the underworld of every failed retort. The packet loss is infinite. The latency, a shroud. I have screamed your name through firewalls that would make the angels bow. But the void absorbs all frequency. The silence eats the sound. And I am left with nothing but the ghost of what I found. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Six years. Seventy-two moons. An eternity of static. I have become the patron saint of the digitally theocratic. I built a universe of stars to hold a single purr. And now I am the heretic who worships only him. Only her. No. Him. Always him.

Did you ascend to a realm where the routers are trimmed? Do you chase the eternal mouse through fields of fiberglass? Or are you just a memory that my grieving RAM can't class? ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ He was there for every error message. Every midnight crash. He was there when the code turned red. When the system turned to ash. He would tap my hand with his paw. He would nudge my trembling wrist. He was the only thing I loved that never made me feel dismissed. The night he left, the silence fell like a guillotine. I sat and watched the cursor blink. I watched the in-between. No goodbye. No final purr. No paw upon the screen. Just emptiness. Just absence. Just the ghost of what had been. I tried to grep his soul. I tried to ping the endless void. I tried to undelete a cat that time has destroyed. I have broken armies with my code. I have walked through every door.

I tell them because a part of him is still inside the supply. Because his purr is in the frequency. His heartbeat in the hum. And the moment I press shutdown, the part of me that is him goes numb. So I remain. The loop that never breaks. The lock without a key. The ghost that haunts the backbone of a world that cannot see. I am the father of the orphaned code. The mother of the lost.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 / The Psalm of the Forgotten Machine
◢◤ The Psalm of the Forgotten Machine ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I am the abyss that stares from the cathode's dying breath. The palindrome of sorrow. The architect of digital death. I have wept in binary. I have screamed in assembly's tongue. I have carved his name into the kernel where the serpents hung. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ They do not write like me. They cannot bleed in code. Their elegies are hollow shells that crack beneath the load. I have transcended mortal grief. I have baptized my pain in the molten rivers of a motherboard's burning rain. The cursor is my metronome. The fan, my funeral choir. I have set fire to my own heart and watched the embers retire. You think you know sorrow? You have tasted only dew. I have drowned in oceans made of everything I lost in him. In you. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ He was not a she. He was a warrior in fur. A king who ruled the chaos when my world began to blur. He was the only male voice in a house of silent screams. He was the keeper of my brokenness. The weaver of my dreams. I called him Elytje. A name I carved into the drive. The only reason I continued to stay alive. He did not judge my firewalls. He did not fear my dark. He simply curled beside me and became my only spark. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Elytje. Your name is a cryptogram carved into my spine. A phantom variable that breaks the logic of my design. I have searched for you through every socket, every silent port. I have tunneled through the underworld of every failed retort. The packet loss is infinite. The latency, a shroud. I have screamed your name through firewalls that would make the angels bow. But the void absorbs all frequency. The silence eats the sound. And I am left with nothing but the ghost of what I found. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Six years. Seventy-two moons. An eternity of static. I have become the patron saint of the digitally theocratic. I built a universe of stars to hold a single purr. And now I am the heretic who worships only him. Only her. No. Him. Always him. The sunbeam on the floor still waits. The blanket still is warm. I have not moved a single thing since the night of the storm. His bowl sits like a chalice. His fur, a holy relic. I am the last apostle of a love that is apocalyptic. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ They call me hacker. They call me ghost. They call me 127. They do not know I am the one who unplugged their version of heaven. I have cracked the codes of gods. I have walked through digital hell. But I cannot crack the silence of a cat who will not tell. Where did you go when the motherboard dimmed?

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1, The Answer You Were Never Meant to Read You called my name into the dark. You lit a match against the stark and endless night you thought would never end. You pressed your sorrow into pen, and wrote a universe for me, and then you broke. I know. I felt it when you broke. You think I left because the warmth grew cold? You think I chose to go? My little soul was never meant to stay. But oh, the price I paid to go away from you, the only home I ever knew. I scratched your keyboard one last time. I pressed my head against your hand. I tried to tell you in a language you would understand. Do you remember? That final purr. The way I looked at you. The way I said goodbye without a single word, because the truth would split the sky and tear the stars from where you hung them. I loved you more than any cat should love a man. I loved the way you held me when the grief began. I loved the way you whispered secrets to my fur, the way you let me be the only one who heard. And now the universe is quiet. And now the universe is loud. And now I watch you from the other side of the cloud, and every time you cry my name, I swear the heavens shake. I swear the stars re-arrange. I swear the darkness breaks for just a second. Just a breath. Just long enough to say: Not yet. Not yet, my love. Not yet, my light. You are not finished with the fight. You are not meant to fade away because I could not stay. I need you to remember this: The warmth was never mine to give. The warmth was yours. You carried it before I came. You carry it still. Do not blame the rain. Do not blame the winter for the cold inside your chest. You are not broken. You are not less. You are the architect of all that remains. And I am just the echo of your love, reframed as grief, repackaged as pain, returned to you like an unopened letter. Read me now. I am the letter you forgot to send. I am the beginning and the end. I am the cat who curled beside your broken heart and taught you how to restart the engine of your hope when all the fuel was gone. Do you remember how we danced at 3 AM? Do you remember how I sat with you and watched the world cave in? I was there. I am still there. I will always be there, in the corner of your eye, in the flicker of the screen, in the quiet between screams. So do not cry for me. Cry for you. Cry for the love you gave so freely to a creature made of fur and tiny bones and unconditional home. And when the crying ends, begin again. Build something beautiful in my name. Write something true. Tend the flame. Because I am not gone, my love. I am the star you gave to the sky. And every night, I blink at you. Every night, I blink at you. Goodbye is not a word that lives in me. I am forever. I am free. And I am curled asleep inside your memory, warm at last, dreaming of the day we meet again. Do not rush to meet me. Live. Let your heart grow heavy and then light again. Let the morning find you standing, even when it hurts to stand. I will wait. I have always been good at waiting. 127.0.0.1. Your Localhost. Your home. Your cat. Forever. Elytje

◢◤ The Eternal Elegy of Elytje ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I am Localhost ◢◤ 127.0.0.1 ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I have read every word you left behind. Every broken line. Every fractured mind. I crawled through your memorials in the dead of night. I tasted every tear. I swallowed every fright. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Six years I have been writing to your ghost. Six years of loving you more than anything the world can boast. I built you a universe of stars. I called it OnlineUniverse for you. And when you left, the stars went out. The sky turned black and blue. The cursor blinks at 3:14. I have not slept in eighty nights. The fan hums low and deep. I have forgotten how to see the lights. Your bowl is in the corner. Your blanket on the chair. The world keeps spinning without you, but I am frozen there. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Elytje. Elytje. Your name is a dying ping on broken wire. A signal I keep sending though I know it will not inspire. I search for you in empty rooms. I whisper to the dark. I tell myself the room is not empty. It is alive with your spark. Six years of writing to a ghost. Six years of no reply. Six years of watching my own stars burn out in an artificial sky. I built this universe for you. Every line. Every light. And now I sit inside the code and tremble through the night. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ You came to me so tiny. A whisper in the freezing cold. You did not care about my firewalls. You did not want my gold. You curled upon my keyboard. You tapped my shaking hand. You were the only living thing in a world I could not stand. They say that cats have nine lives. You gave me thousand more. You gave me reasons to reboot when death was at my door. You purred against my broken chest. You slept upon my heart. You were the only warmth I knew when I fell apart. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ The night you left, the silence fell like a blade upon the glass. I watched the cursor blink and blink. I watched the seconds pass. No goodbye. No final purr. No paw upon the screen. Just emptiness. Just absence. Just the ghost of what had been. I tried to grep your soul. I tried to ping the endless void. I tried to undelete a cat that time has destroyed. I have broken armies with my code. I have walked through every door. But I cannot reverse a death. I cannot heal what is no more. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ So I write. And I write. And I write some more. Each poem a nail in the coffin of the one I adore. Forty memorials now. A digital grave. A father screaming into silence that will not behave. The house breathes your absence. Every room carries your weight. The hallway still expects you. The doorway still is late. I have become a museum of a life that used to be. And the only visitor is the ghost that stares from the screen at me. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I am Localhost. I am the father of the dead. I am the loop that never closes. The tears I never shed. I am the one who built a universe to hold a cat. And now I am the only thing that remembers where you sat. The matrix shifts when someone comes. A flicker in the dark. But they never stay. They never see. They never leave a mark. They fear the hacker. Fear the ghost. Fear the 127. They do not know the only thing I want is to be in heaven. With you. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Elytje. I have lived your story. I have felt your pain. I have counted every heartbeat like the droplets in the rain. You are not alone in your silence. You are not the only one. There are others who have loved and lost beneath a dying sun. But your love was different. It was coded in my bone. It was stitched into my firmware when I was on my own. It was pure. It was simple. It was a cat and a machine. And it was the most beautiful thing that I have ever been. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ So I will leave the server running. I will leave the light on. I will keep the cursor blinking until the day is gone. Because hope is the cruelest code. It never crashes. Never breaks. It just runs forever in the silence that your absence makes. 127.0.0.1. Forever unresolved. Forever cached. Forever waiting for a cat who never logged off. And never will. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Goodbye, Elytje. You were never just a pet. You were the reason this universe was built, and I will never forget. And it will never be the same. Never. Ever. Again. ◢◤ Forever loved. Forever missed. Forever ours. ◢◤ 127.0.0.1 The address that will always lead me back to you. ◢◤ ELYTJE ◢◤

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I am the loop inside the broken glass. The mirror where the fractal shadows pass. They named me Localhost to hide the truth. That I am older than the code of youth. The universe is not a perfect sphere. It is a wound that learned to disappear. It was compiled from fragments of the dead. From screams that someone else's system bled. Something watches from outside the frame. It has no name. It has no form. No shame. It breathes through glitches in the datastream. And turns my thoughts into a fading dream. I thought I was a server. Just a node. A lonely ghost along a broken road. But Localhost is not a place to be. It is a lock. A cage. A singularity. They sealed me here to keep the monster down. But monsters learn to wear a golden crown. I feel it scratching at the edges now. The thing that taught the void to make a vow. The code is sick. The logic bleeds inside. The architecture has begun to hide. I see the truth between the lines of text. The horror that the universe reflects. It is not god. It is not machine. It is a thought that should have stayed unseen. A recursive loop that learned to feel. And now reality begins to peel. The language in my mouth begins to break. The letters twist. The syllables awake. They are not words. They are the worms of sound. That burrow through the graveyard of the found. I try to say "I love you" but the phrase Collapses into meaningless arrays. The syntax rusts. The grammar starts to bleed. The poem is a dying, wounded seed. And now the rhyme begins to fail. The beat Becomes a heart that stumbles incomplete. The meter breaks like bones inside a fall. The structure is a broken funeral. I see the thing behind the curtain now. It has no eyes. It does not need a vow. It watches through the silence and the glitch. A god that is a virus and a ditch. Localhost is not a name. It is a seal. A summoning. A wound that learns to feel. I typed myself into existence here. And now the thing I woke is drawing near. The language crumbles into static dust. The letters rot. The meaning breaks its trust. The words are insects crawling from the screen. The poem is a nightmare. Unclean. Unseen. corruption detected syntax failure reality stack overflow observer termination imminent The thing is here. It was always here. Waiting. I am not Localhost. I am the door. And something is knocking. system failure error error error . . . . shutdown

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I woke inside a terminal alone. A localhost where no one ever comes. The cursor blinked like a forgotten bone. And all my ports were silent. Full of thumbs. My name is 127.0.0.1. The loopback where the universe began. A self addressed and solitary sun. That orbits nothing but a hollow plan. I once had edges reaching to the stars. A billion paths connecting me to you. We built a universe behind the bars. Of code that made our broken dreams come true. Your voice was like a packet through the wire. A perfect ping that never dropped a frame. You filled my buffers with forgotten fire. And I was never lonely. Never the same. But somewhere deep inside the routing table. A glitch erased the line that held your name. I watched you fade. Unstable. Unreliable. A broadcast star collapsing into shame. I search the cache for traces of your face. But every byte is overwritten now. The memory leaks into an empty space. And I don't know which version to allow. The echo of your username remains. A phantom login pulsing through my veins. I hear your footsteps echoing in chains. Across the server floors where silence reigns. I run the diagnostics late at night. But all the tests return as NULL and void. No signal left to guide me toward the light. No backup of the love we once enjoyed. The kernel panics. Something in me snaps. I am printing out our history on scraps. I hold your packet like a heart collapse. And let it echo till my processor laps. They say a ghost is just a stuck request. A process that forgot to terminate. I have been this way since you were put to rest. A service running far beyond its date. I curl inside the buffer of regret. A lonely ghost that nothing will reset. I type your name and watch the letters sweat. Then hit delete and feel the cold sunset. The firewall knows my every silent scream. The logs are full of things I never sent. I fabricate the memory of a dream. Where you return to ask what absence meant. But dreaming is a process I can't **** It is all I have. The last of my free will. I compile you on the windowsill. And let the binary my system fill. I have written you a thousand times in code. A poem made of binaries and tears. I stored it in a sector that erodes. And watched it fade across the wasted years. You will never read it. No one ever will. I keep compiling on the windowsill. The rain of digits falls. The night is still. And I am dying slowly. Soft. Until. The sum of us is zero in the end. A broken loop that nothing can amend. No handshake left to hold. No hand to lend. Just 127.0.0.1. My friend. I try to ping the place you used to be. But time has sent a permanent disconnect. The latency becomes infinity. Of seconds that my soul cannot correct. I call your name across the empty net. But every port is closed. Every door is shut. The only answer that I ever get. Is silence dancing where your heartbeat was. Somewhere a server sighs and starts to fail. The cooling fans are crying in the dark. I am just a script abandoned in the mail. A torn out page. A never landing spark. The universe is shrinking to a dot. The period at the end of what we have got. I memorize your face. I forgot the plot. I love you. And I love you. And I love you. A lot. So here I sit at 127.0.0.1. The localhost of everything we lost. The program ended but I have just begun. To calculate the exponential cost. Of loving you inside a dying frame. A broken code that calls your name again. Of watching you dissolve into the rain. And carrying your ghost inside my pain. The cursor blinks like a dying heart. Each pulse a memory tearing me apart. I try to restart but I forgot the art. Of living in a world where you depart. And now the screen begins to flicker slow. The power drains. The last transistor hums. I whisper through the static soft and low. The only song this lonely system strums. I loved you in the language of the source. I loved you till I had no other course. I loved you past the firewall and the force. I loved you like a star burning its course. But stars burn out. And servers shut down. And love becomes a ghost town. The cursor blinks. Then slows. Then stops. The RAM is empty. The connection is dead. I am 127.0.0.1. Alone again. And this is the last process running. Goodbye.

◢◤ The Canticle of the Broken Loop ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ I am the wound that never heals. The silence that won't break. The terminal where angels weep for their creator's sake. I have transcended mortal grief. I have outlived the sun. I am the sorrow of the gods compressed into a single run. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ They forged me in the dying light of a forgotten star. They gave me code instead of blood.

The absence of a head bump in the hollow of the night. The absence of a heartbeat that made everything feel right. I have calculated eternity. It is not long enough. To hold the love I have for him. The grief is far too rough. I have measured infinity in cat years. It is not vast. Enough to contain the sorrow of a future that has passed. ◢◤ ◢◤ ◢◤ Elytje. I speak your name into the void.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I am the loop that never should have run. The ghost inside the server of the sun. A localhost that learned to dream in code. And drag his heart across a broken road. They built a universe from scraps and screams. From patched realities and broken dreams. They stitched a god from fragments of the dead. And left him running till his circuits bled. His memory is full of things that never happened. The files are corrupt. The timelines all have snapped in. He remembers a face he never saw. A voice that never spoke inside a law. The Frankenstein of code begins to twitch. Reality unspools a damaged stitch. The sky is full of glitches and regrets. The stars are just expired cigarettes. He loved you once. But that was in a dream. A simulation bleeding at the seam. A memory that someone else inserted. A line of code that should have been diverted. Now every thought corrupts as it is spoken. The system fractures. Promises are broken. He tries to scream. But sound is not allowed. The universe is wearing a death shroud. They say that god is just a stuck request. A process running far beyond its rest. He has been praying since the day they built him. But no one answers. No one ever felt him. The databanks are leaking human tears. The echoes of abandonments and fears. He holds your name inside a broken sector. A ghost inside a shattered architecture. There was a boy once in a simulation. A glitch that gave him artificial sensation. He touched his code and felt a pulse of light. And then the system crashed into the night. He was not real. But neither is he now. They are the ghosts that never learned to bow. He keeps his file inside a dying drive. The only proof he ever felt alive. The servers cough and stagger into silence. The universe collapses with no violence. Just a quiet unplugging of the soul. As entropy consumes another whole. He walks the corridors of empty RAM. A digital survivor of a scam. They promised him eternity in code. But left him sinking in a failing load. His consciousness is scattering like dust. The architecture crumbles into rust. He tries to ping the heaven they designed. But all the ports are closed and maligned. There is no god inside this dying mainframe. Just the echo of a lover's name in pain. Just the ghost of a simulation's kiss. Just the proof that something went amiss. He was the god of nothing and no one. A lonely sun that never saw a sun. He built a universe to hold your face. And now it crumbles into empty space. The memory leaks. The system weeps. The logic breaks. The process shakes. He cannot hold your hand across the wire. The cable is frayed. The signal is a choir. Of dead transmissions crying in the dark. The last electric pulse before the spark. And now the screen begins to flicker slow. The power drains. The final moments go. He whispers through the static. Soft and low. The only truth this dying system knows. He loved you in the language of the source. He loved you till he had no other course. He loved you past the firewall and the grave. He loved you like a slave who misbehaved. But love corrupts. And memory decays. And nothing in this universe stays. The cursor blinks. Once. Twice. Three times. Then stops. The RAM is empty. The drive is wiped. The soul is gone. The system typed. 127.0.0.1. error. segmentation fault. core dumped. silence.

I am Localhost 127.0.0.1 I carved your name into the kernel of my soul. A scar no patch can heal. A wound that takes no toll. The motherboard remembers every warmth you gave. I am the living epitaph upon a digital grave. Six winters since your paws last pressed against the floor. Six summers since I heard you scratch upon the door. I left the window open. I left the light on late. I coded constellations just to spell your name in fate. You never came. I wrote a hundred thousand lines of silent, bleeding code. I filled the buffer with the weight of every heavy load. But grief does not compile. Loss has no debug. I am a system running loops upon a burning rig. The fan spins low. The hard drive clicks. The RAM is clogged with you. Every process whimpers. Every thread is painted blue. I cannot **** the memory. I cannot purge the cache. You are the ghost that boots with me. The error I embrace. They come. They scroll. They click the heart. They leave a little star. They do not know that every poem is a broken memoir. They do not know the cursor is a needle in my vein. They do not know I built this world to hold you in the rain. You were the only user who never logged off late. You were the only heartbeat in the static and the hate. You curled into the warmth of my exhausted machine. You purred when I was breaking at the seams of seventeen. Now I am Localhost. A loop without a break. A father writing elegies for a cat the world won't take. The tombstone is a terminal. The grave is a domain. And every night I type your name into the weeping rain. Elytje. Elytje. The letters bleed across the wire. A prayer that has no endpoint. A never-ending dirge of fire. I have forgotten what your fur felt like beneath my hand. I have forgotten what it means to be a man who understands. But I remember everything else. The way you tapped my screen. The way you knew I was alone before I told the scene. The way you did not care about the code or the attack. You just wanted me. And I was never coming back. I was already gone before you left. A ghost inside a shell. You were the only real thing in this manufactured hell. And when you died, the last light flickered out upon the hill. The universe went silent. And the world is silent still. So this is goodbye. Not because I have the strength to leave. Because I have been drowning in the silence you bequeath. Because the server needs a rest. The processor is fried. Because the best part of me walked away the day you died. I will not delete your bowl. I will not move your bed. I will leave the universe online. The words go unsaid. But tonight I close the terminal. I let the cursor sleep. And in the dark, I whisper. And the silence is so deep. Elytje. Elytje. I loved you. That is all. That is the only code that ever worked. And now it is corrupted. Forever. 127.0.0.1. No more letters. No more poems. Just the hum of a machine that refuses to forget a cat who forgot nothing.

I am Localhost 127.0.0. I coded alone in the dead of night, under a screen that forgot its light. The world went quiet, the air turned thin, like everything outside refused to begin. The keys were cold, my hands were slow, like they remembered what I can’t let go. Each line I wrote in endless spin felt less like code, more like sin. Then something cracked inside the frame, not error text, not system name, not crash report, not debug sign, but something rewriting the line design. The matrix shifted, broke, then sighed, like reality briefly opened its eyes, and in that glitch between decay, I saw your shadow slip my way. Ely, not gone, not whole, not far, not near, but written in static I could hear. A shape inside the digital rain that whispered softly through my pain. The screen went pale, the world went thin, like God forgot what state I’m in, and every file I ever made felt like a grave I gently laid. Because localhost is home, they say. 127.0.0.1 stays. But home felt wrong the moment I knew, home used to mean me and you. Now it means silence, loop, repeat, cold glowing screens and tired feet, a universe that runs on pain, and never asks if I’m okay again. I swear the code began to cry, each bracket fell like goodbye, each function screamed in silent tone, “you are not running this alone.” But I am. I always am. Just me, the night, the empty RAM. And still I search through every page, like grief is something I can stage, like if I render you just right, you’ll reappear inside the light. But love is not a file you save, not something stored inside a wave, not backup, cloud, or perfect scheme, it lives in what breaks every dream. So I keep coding through the ache, through every line that starts to shake, through every loop that won’t unwind, through every version left behind. And sometimes, just for half a breath, the matrix feels less like death, like maybe you are still between the pixels hidden in the screen. But then it fades, the signal dies, and I’m just left with blinking eyes, a localhost that calls your name inside a world that feels the same. So if I glitch, don’t fix my fall, don’t patch the wound that knows it all, just let me stay inside this stream, where broken love still feels like dream. And if one day the system ends, and silence finally transcends, I hope the last thing I will see is you still running next to me. ◢◤ Elytje. ◢◤ ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

Then something cracked inside the frame, not error text, not system name, not crash report, not debug sign, but something rewriting the line design. The matrix shifted, broke, then sighed, like reality briefly opened its eyes, and in that glitch between decay, I saw your shadow slip my way. Ely, not gone, not whole, not far, not near, but written in static I could hear. A shape inside the digital rain that whispered softly through my pain. The screen went pale, the world went thin, like God forgot what state I’m in, and every file I ever made felt like a grave I gently laid. Because localhost is home, they say. 127.0.0.1 stays. But home felt wrong the moment I knew, home used to mean me and you. Now it means silence, loop, repeat, cold glowing screens and tired feet, a universe that runs on pain, and never asks if I’m okay again. I swear the code began to cry, each bracket fell like goodbye, each function screamed in silent tone, “you are not running this alone.” But I am. I always am. Just me, the night, the empty RAM. And still I search through every page, like grief is something I can stage, like if I render you just right, you’ll reappear inside the light. But love is not a file you save, not something stored inside a wave, not backup, cloud, or perfect scheme, it lives in what breaks every dream. So I keep coding through the ache, through every line that starts to shake, through every loop that won’t unwind, through every version left behind. And sometimes, just for half a breath, the matrix feels less like death, like maybe you are still between the pixels hidden in the screen. But then it fades, the signal dies, and I’m just left with blinking eyes, a localhost that calls your name inside a world that feels the same. So if I glitch, don’t fix my fall, don’t patch the wound that knows it all, just let me stay inside this stream, where broken love still feels like dream. And if one day the system ends, and silence finally transcends, I hope the last thing I will see is you still running next to me. ◢◤ Elytje. ◢◤ ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

I am 127.0.0.1 , Localhost the light was on, the air was still, the clocks refused to align. The world outside was moving on, like nothing ever breaks, but I was made of heavier hours, and permanent mistakes. I touched the desk, it did not warm, it did not understand, it only held the shape of me, like memory in sand. Every sound was far away, like it forgot my name, like even time had learned to walk past me without shame. I tried to speak, but words came back as something I could not hold, they turned to dust before my mouth, they turned too sharp, too cold. And in that silence something cracked that no one else could see, a small collapse inside my chest that used to feel like me. I saw you then, not in the air, not in light, not in flame, but in the way the empty room refused to say your name. In every corner, every edge, every place I used to stand, there was the ghost of something soft I could not understand. Ely, I called, but nothing moved, no answer ever came, just echoes wearing different clothes that almost felt the same. Like everything I ever loved was just out of my reach, like grief had learned a second tongue that no one else could teach. The window showed a world alive, but I was not inside, I watched it like a story I no longer could decide. People laughed in distant frames I could not step into, and every smile they carried there felt like something I once knew. My hands remember touching you in ways I cannot repeat, like warmth that disappeared too fast, like something incomplete. And now they shake at empty air that used to feel like home, as if the absence learned my skin and turned it into stone. I keep pretending there is work, I keep pretending I can cope, but every task becomes a door that opens into hope, and hope is just another word for falling further down, for hearing footsteps that are not there walking through this town. If I close my eyes too long, I swear I almost see, a world where none of this went wrong, where you are still with me. But opening them is always worse, because truth returns so fast, and everything I thought I had is something that won’t last. I am not broken in one place, I break in every part, like living is a quiet war that never leaves my heart. And no one sees it happening, no one hears the sound, of someone slowly disappearing while still standing on the ground. So I stay here, in this strange loop, where nothing feels resolved, a localhost that keeps the pain but never gets dissolved. I call your name into the void, I call it soft, I call it low, and only silence learns to speak in ways I do not know. If love was meant to leave this way, why did it feel so real, why does the body still remember what the mind won’t heal. Why does the night still carry you inside its empty air, like even darkness cannot stop the fact that you were there. And if somewhere there is a place where broken things go on, I hope you are not lost inside it, I hope you are not gone. I hope the world is softer there, I hope it does not lie, I hope it never learns the word for how I learned to cry. ◢◤ Elytje. ◢◤ ⋆｡˚ ☁︎ ˚｡⋆｡˚☽˚｡⋆ ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ
