STATIC SOUL (glitch-ether art pop)

I had a face

Now - frame rate

I had a name

Now - filename

I had a soul

Now - loading

I used to be

Now I'm just gone

Skin at the edges

Pixels, not flesh

Memories corrupted

Nothing to fetch

I knew your warmth

I knew your weight

The mirror loads

Someone too late

A room in spring

A hand in mine

Now everything

Is just a line

Signal instead

Of touch, of breath

I reach - it lags

Nothing is left

Dream or dream.exe?

Signal or me?

My heartbeat skips -

Is that still me?

Soul or code?

Soul or code?

Million miles

Fiber, alone

Upload my soul

Past the firewall

Does anyone exist

If no one saves at all?

Soul or code?

Soul or code?

Edges blur

Where I once showed

Void autocorrects

My scream, my name

Spits me back

Not quite the same not quite the-

Voice auto-tuned

Cold, not mine

Tears render slow

Pixel by line

I try to feel -

"No data found"

I try to scream -

Just echo, sound

I cried at songs

At letters, rain

Grief arrives now

Notification pain

Swipe it away

Don't want to know

One node blinking

Endless, alone

They see the light

Not the signal

Behind the glow -

Was there a girl?

Ghost or glitch?

Which one stayed?

Alive or just

Beautifully compressed, saved?
