Yes Hurt Me Never
She stares at the screen,
it feels like a remote unfeeling scene.
From a black and white film, of long ago.
The tears that fall are none but ghosts.
The skin above none other than this robots host.
A dam, fortified with diamonds.
Whilst the fire that burns, emotions that churn
still never quite touch the soul.
There is an emptiness, she cannot fill,
deep behind her doll like smile.
With hands that shake, and blades that sting.
She stares at the screen,
it feels like a remote unfeeling scene.
Slamming the technology against a windowed wall,
she drops to her knees,
it is her spirit that falls.
There is a barbed collar around her neck,
she was never free.
Her tongue was seared, frightened her fingers cannot speak.
When she runs away, too tired to stay,
the desires have her coming undone.
The most faithful pet, she screams a plea.
Yet when he moves away,
blood pouring down his skin.
Never his own, never his own.
The coldest smile, he is always pleased.
And when he's done,
ready to release..
"Please come back to me!!"
