Perfidy
A computer’s tale

Perfidy how could you do this to me?
After I lavished care on you constantly
The hours I’ve spent being with you
The attention and the love I’ve given too
And now you go and treat me like this
Simply depart without a farewell kiss
No warning that you were leaving me
One moment you’re here then I’m history

Treacherous betrayal, have you no heart
One second you here then you depart
How could you do this leave just like that?
What are you anyway some kind of rat?
Not a word, no not ever a small sign
I would hardly say your behaviour is fine
You can’t say I haven’t tried for you
All those wasted hours you put me through

Betrayal of such a momentous degree
I think I deserve a lot of sympathy
No one who’s seen my tears of despair
Could doubt for a moment that I really do care
Return to your home the table looks bare
My desk is missing you so is the chair
I’ll forgive you the loss of my files and such
Come back computer I miss you too much

Marsha



Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire

A beautifully written, sad tale of electronic betrayal...
Maybe you ought to trade that traitor in for a new model.
