Beautiful Machina

You are mechanical;
the methodic machine,
a beautiful robot
with metallic genes.
You are predictable;
purely pugnacious,
walking a lonely line
and proudly tenacious.
You are callous,
a cold calibration
Immune to my cause
and to love’s liberation.
You are strong
and selfishly so,
protecting your heart,
not letting it show.
You are armored,
armed and abstruse;
a deadly defense
for the life you choose.
You are beautiful,
a brilliant clone,
but loneliness lingers...
and you are all alone.
