Chrome Hunger

chrome against skin breath like smoke heartbeat wired in veins replaced with wires lungs hiss compressed air pulse through glass cold thoughts loop nerves reroute slow fingers built from steel eyes glow infrared chrome hunger grows touch denied now feelings offline steel does not feel but it never breaks flesh replaced clean memory flickers red echoes in code skin was too weak upgraded with pain lips can’t taste voice now a signal dreams run on loops heartbeat simulated identity blur chrome hunger deep never complete always awake new form, no soul just perfect control love shut down limbs hum quiet tears are data no more warmth only feedback I chose the change no going back bones turned to carbon face in reflection blank and flawless chrome hunger stays won’t go quiet needs more flesh one more upgrade one last piece
