The love machine

Ray Caesar painting

Do you see the look in my eyes?
The stark glassy stare
through which I project
my loathing for you?

Do you see how my love
turned to dust before you?
How my soul vanished
into your void?

You made me this way
You tore my heart to pieces
until every sinew became detached,
broken and lifeless.

You stole my spirit.
Now I am mere machine,
my emotions as mechanical
as my body.

You made me this way.

    No, thank you for providing the inspiration!

    I’m glad you enjoyed the poem, and hope you don’t mind the use of your image, next to which my words feel very humble indeed. You have a gift that I can only envy, and admire from afar.
