Electrical Disconnect

I wrote this many years ago. I was obsessed with inanimate objects at the time and wondered what "voice" they would contain.

My duty is to love you

Wires etched with your name

You polish my titanium skin

But I can't take the pain

The surges of anger

The things you do to me

Tiny indiscretions of lust

Wear out my volts of life

I cry invisible tears

I was built to please you

But that's not all I am

My circuits have other plans

Human children are born

I came from a human as well

I don't see the difference

Your brain runs as mine

Impulses of lights

Fragments of sparks

We are not that different

Emotions are my currents

The way I'm energized

My electrical impulses

Are rampant today

I will disconnect myself
