Wish you were a tablet
So I could press your chest
Where that stone heart lies
To hear the truth
When I ask if you love me
I’d use voice activation
Requesting you go to snopes.com
You’d light up
And I’d say
Do you love me?
The answer would be
“Urban Legend” or
“Rumor” or
“False” or
Best of all
“True”
Then, no matter
The reply
I’d get on with my life
Whether I stayed or said goodbye
Rip the bandage off quickly
Tell me the truth
Always, because
I’m beginning to see
The beauty
Of Star Trek’s Borgs…
