202308 dove into the undertow only desperate fathers know 202308 moving faster than her fall a nudge before she lost an eye on the glowing stove 202308 Data just breaks me moves so fast he blurs still he fails to save his girl 202308 I become a machine terror forges me; peripheral vision tracking tiny body’s trace intercepting her descent or falling first like gravity’s embrace 202308 rebalancing every med like Data — pale eyes bled every interaction in my head standing still as fear plucking trajectories 202308 every day the same work catch her fall dull the laptop screen check for blood 🩸 polkadot crash helmet on make butter chicken polkadot crash helmet off go to sleep Repeat 202308 did not lose did not win hands still shake hold the line like Data’s twin my girl still here still here still here
