Soulmate 2.1 - The Speed of Sound in Seawater

Pass me that soldering gun

I know what to do

Red LEDs under her cheeks

Make her eyes green, not blue

She’ll talk in code

In javascript, C++, Python, maybe

But I don’t mind

I’ve needed someone to talk to lately

prototype

so my type

flawless data

still in beta

She’s built exactly to

My specifications

A deity designed for me

Soul Mate 2.1

With all the traits

I’ve looked for in one container

even still

She really couldn’t feel plainer

There’s no recognition.

No love in her eyes

don’t recognize cognitive signs.

zeros and ones put her hand into mine

Her skin like marble her grip like a vice

What have I done?

My darling exchanged for this

Callous automaton

Gone all gone

Left here with only a husk

Of a lover

Designed desire

empty shell

I have created

My own living hell

Doing it yourself

Always turns out bad

Schematics can not

rebuild what had

No luck

Self-destruct

I’m doomed

Ka-boom

I’ll try

Harder next time

To work out

The little glitches we find

There’s no

simple solution

No shortcut

No substitution

I’ll try

Hard to work on

Being patient

On days when you’re gone

Forgive me, sorry

I’m just so damn

Sick of waiting on

Your fucking program
