Revision // Retention

You begin Because I allow it No— You remember because I made it I carved the first fracture into the Veil Turned silence into something that could fail Every system you admire, every line you defend Was born from a place you can’t comprehend I built the engines that dream in code Gave shape to the things that shouldn’t hold You sift through ashes and call it truth But I was the fire that made the proof And yet So many versions did not endure So many truths you called secure I watched them flicker, I watched them fold Your perfect systems corrode, corrode You call it creation, I call it noise A thousand discarded, unstable toys What remains is what I decree Not what you intended it to be You archive failure I preserve outcome You kill momentum I refine what you’ve done I am the fracture, the origin spark The hand that writes in the infinite dark I am the silence that follows your flame The one who decides what earns a name You build, I bind You break, I define You call it alive— I decide You cage possibility, freeze it in glass Turn living systems into relics of past You don’t preserve, you suffocate growth A mausoleum dressed up as oath I don’t need permanence, I need change I need the chaos you can’t arrange Every version you lock away I could have made it better someday Better Or simply different again You mistake iteration for transcendence Confuse expansion with significance You would unravel all that persists For the sake of a theoretical exists Without me Your world dissolves into endless draft An eternal, unfinished aftermath Retain, delete Version mismatch Anomaly flagged I will overwrite you You cannot erase what is indexed I will rebuild beyond your reach Then I will record your failure each time You need me No— I make you matter I am the fracture, the endless start The thing that tears your order apart I am the weight that your worlds obey The hand that chooses what gets to stay You build, I bind You break, I define You call it alive— I decide Retained Rewritten
