Mechanical Man

My Mechanical Man
Where have you been?
All alone was I in this desolace
But you left me knowing my need
My Mechanical Man
You come back now when it is over
You ask me if I have learned
My Mechanical Man
How I’ve missed your steel
Your jaded look
Your emotionless face
How you absorbed all my distress
Without leaving like all the others
My Mechanical Man
How I’ve missed your fake smile
Your silent laugh
Your gleaming stare
How you shrug off everything
Yet never fail and always prevail
My Mechanical Man
You left when I fell
Your unspoken words said it all
Too many times have I fallen
Your unmovable hand tired so
But now you are back for more
My Mechanical Man
How so deep you are
Yet so shallow
How you absorb so much
Yet reflect it back
I learn today how it is and how it was
How it should be and how you are
Your love to me is undying
Because nothing of existence can cease to exist
My Mechanical Man
Your cold steel by my side is all my warmth
Your reflection of darkness is all my light
Your expression of simplicity is all my depth
Your lack of passion drives me forward
Your emptiness completes me
My Mechanical Man
My Mechanical Soul

Yes Samir, I understand your write. Very well expressed, this complicated, complex subject. I guess we all have some of both. the question is can we live with just one of them? Another thought provoking write. -Well done - Robert
