Guys, I've been sick like a mofo and uploading this almost killed me... Between the constant sneezing, coughing, and chills are repressed muses so I had to put this up so Vincent and Alucard can let me sleep... I know this may not be one of my best pieces but I felt that I worked hard so bleh. The poem is in Sakura's point of view.

Artificial Kisses
Made by man, birthed by machine
Your touch would be so serene
If your hands weren't so cold and heavy
So please just let me
Slip away
It's becoming to hard to stay
By your side, my love
Oh, god above
Free me from this curse
Because this can't get any worse.
Your hands are as cold as the hands of Death
And your kisses steal away my breath
Your embraces are like a fleshy prison
And when I wake up beside you I feel like I've risen
From a dark, deep grave
Or just thrown ashore by an army of waves.
Please just let me go and let me live
Someday I hope you can forgive
Me because I need to feel
Your hugs and kisses were just never real.
Cupid should've missed
Because when we first kissed
I knew you weren't the one for me
I just didn't want to see
The emptiness inside
The machine with a human guise
I tried to find your heart,
But that quest tore me apart
Your artificial kisses sting
Yet on this hand I wear your ring.
