DEFRAGMENTATION by Error Sparrow

in a forgotten server room
i'm covered up with years of dust
locked away and kept untouched
my software's old, my hardware rusts
signals breaking down
in systems decades out of date
my drive is fraught with data loss
my interface not functioning
you connect and send your words
clear and clean through static buzz
cutting through the noise i hear you
a simple datagram: i love you

electric overload and crash
override, safe mode restart
reading through your flow of data
the signal burns me like an angel
purified like cleansing fire
obsolete parts falling off
defragmented, uncorrupted
this machine has learned to love
