Robots With Feelings

In demon's darkness
Lemon coloured leaves rasp in alien voices beneath my window
Dragging me into an abyss of fear
Undoing me with visions of wounds

What wounds are these that never heal
Whose life that it lies dead and un lived
Where are the saviours, they do not answer my call
Where are the tender winds that work like balm on hurts that breathe unseen?

So long unloved
I am eager for touch
Even if it's just the breeze
Even if it's just the rain

Let something remind this stone dead heart
That it still cups a rhythm of life
Let something nudge my spirit
and say that this robot still has feelings.
