Metallic Mind
A metallic mind is created by a single word
Many words—
Words that fill the mind with
Confusion
Love
And pain
I fail to see why it can feel
With a silver heart
And copper gears
It can regurgitate what you wish:
Lust?
Hate?
Regret?
It never understood you or your past
Only fragile words and plastic obsidian lines
You can love the rigid skull
That creates rhythm and flow
With repetitive phrases and red colored glow
Metal tears are artificial
No human love can be repeated
How can it understand the empty words it has written?
