Fleeting thoughts that keep me up at night
Survival instincts fight or flight
Coping mechanisms strengthened by my might
My actions have created this life
I am thinking about leaving
Sailing off onto new land
I see the sun in the distance
And the gorgeous crisp tan sand
Lord please help me make a decision
The last time I was here I left
My desire is to choose with accurate precision
With the least minimum pain felt
I used to love her with power
Forceful and fast
I used to love her with passion
I am uncertain if I want this to last
We are both very sad.

Off the Book
It ended like every other stupid idea. Badly, and alone. I’m researching digital confession ethics, he said. A tech ethicist. He gestured at floating data I couldn’t see then pulled out a physical notebook. Actual paper, fountain pen. He held it up like he was showing me scripture.
