Robot Love

Robot Love

If we were both robots

We rwould not be afraid 

Of having our hearts broken

From love that is betrayed

And it would not matter 

If we lost at love again

For we would never give a thought 

To love that might have been

We would have no feelings 

No emotions to endear  

Jealousy would not compute 

Nor could we shed a tear 

No.....we are not both robots

Constructs of shiny steel 

Amalgamations made of nuts and bolts

With no ability to feel

Human to the core we are

Feeling pleasure and enduring pain

Simply made of flesh and bone

No CPU’s for brains

But if we woke up mechanized

Electronic through and through

We’d interface and sparks would fly 

And Robot Love would start anew

Robot Love - original draft 

If I were a robot

I would not be afraid 

Of having my heart broken

From love that is betrayed

And it would not matter 

If I lost at love again

For I would never give a thought 

To love that might have been

I would have no feelings 

No emotions to endear  

Jealousy would not compute 

Nor could I shed a tear 

Yet human to the core am I 

Feeling pleasure, enduring pain

Simply made of flesh and bone

No CPU for a brain 

No.....I am not a robot

A construct of shiny steel 

An amalgamation of nuts and bolts

With no ability to feel

But if I was.... I would still love you

If you were a robot too
