Robots

We'd always meet in Costa same time every week
Your eyes would mesmerise entranced by your mystique
I used to plan our life together
You'd flawlessly predict the weather

A sense of disconnection talking on the phone
Like an old episode of The Twilight Zone
Certain there was mutual attraction
Often I would wait for your reaction

Sometimes I would stare
I was unaware

I never knew you were a robot
Inside you only wires, ultimately programmed to conspire
With all the other robots
Unlikely as it seems, a world controlled entirely by machines
But somewhere hidden amongst the debris
Data for a random memory

We'd watch the politicians on morning TV
And laugh as they would respond so robotically
I'd remark society was sinking
But never really knew what you were thinking

Clearly oblivious I thought we seemed well matched
But underneath it all a cunning plot was hatched
Genuinely thought it was surprising
You becoming part of the uprising

But our fate was clear
I had no idea

Daily report completed, just before you send
You find a note I left you just before the end
Reminder of a time before this madness
Your circuitry detects a hint of sadness

You look to the sky
With a programmed sigh
