Mechanical girl

Mechanical girl

runs silent among her fears

throws caution a kiss

jumps into a stream

running swifter than she

releases her tears

lets out a muffled scream

no one could ever hear.

She wants to drown

skyrocket off her knees

find her afterlife

brighter than now

cause hope has been placed inside a capsule

without a trace of finding

a key

the key that he wore around his neck

boasting

you are mine ’til end of time.

She remembers how

his mouth would swim

mechanically

to her desires

clutch her emotions like a child

take her breath

then make her beg

to please

him.

Now she prays

watching her soul dissolve

into darkness without a sound

smiling inside

happily greeting portentous death

views it as a sacrifice

for her foolish trust.

Immortality

is longer than rust

shorter than

distance

of broken romance

without oil to lube

mechanical girl.
