Someday I’m going to meet somebody.
And they’ll act like you.
They’ll love me like you did.
Tell me I’m beautiful like you did.
Make me feel special like you did.
Give me happiness just like you.
Fuck me like you did.
Only they’ll be better than you. And it won’t all be lies.
And on that day, I won’t remember you.
No. When that day comes, I’ll have forgotten you existed.
And I hope it kills you inside. Realising what you lost.
When you see me happier than ever with my soulmate, I hope it makes you want to stop breathing.
Just like I almost did for you.

Disarmament
They say there's no atheism in the foxhole. While I wasn't currently neck-deep in a river of soft sediment, I was still praying to whoever would listen. Why am I doing this again? I would ponder while staring at the device that in no less than a minute could be my undoing. I scanned each and every variable panel and commonplace button as I watched the bright red L.E.D ticker countdown. No wires to cut, no code to put in, there was only one way to stop this infernal machine, and that incurred perfect timing.
