Control, Alt, Delete
Control, Alt, Delete
If I could control life
from some alternative universe,
I'd delete you out of it.
You try to control and manipulate others
With your alternate version of the truth,
but all you seem to manage is killing--
Killing love, killing hope, killing self-esteem
deleting all the joy that was.
Control, Alt, Delete
Sorry, you no longer have a valid username or
password for this heart.
Don't bother applying for a new user account.
I'm done with your using.
Access Denied.
Control, Alt, Delete
I've logged you out.
Out of my heart,
Out of my head,
Out of my life.
Your poison will no longer control my life. I'm tired,
Tired of your petty attempts at manipulation.
Tired of all the one-sided care.
We cannot alter the truth.
You cannot delete your careless words
or hurtful actions.
Control, Alt, Delete
It's time to shut this relationship down.
It's time to change
status
Ignore user(s)
Block caller
Deny access
All codes changed.
If I could control life
from some alternative universe,
I'd delete you out of it.
Control, Alt, Delete
Shutdown
But perhaps,
I just did.
Sincerely,
Heart Administrator.
