The Robot by Michael Mack
Upon the stairway of despair,
Complete with broken love affairs
And promises that never came,
But faded with a touch of shame,
A pretty girl with golden hair
And innocence so sadly rare,
Strove to keep her head above
A way of life devoid of love.
Feeling pinned against Life's wall,
She chanced upon a robot tall
And said, "Please come and share with me
Whatever Fate has deemed to be.
I'm through with love, done with chances
Spirit crushed by past romances,
Just be a friend in word and deed.
That's all that I shall ever need."
"There's not too much from me to learn,"
Remarked the robot, in return.
"Emotions do not form a part
of my cold, solid-steel heart.
Whatever maker fashioned me
Did not permit my circuitry
Responsiveness to love or pain -
You're thoughts for me would be in vain."
"No matter", spoke the maid. "No more
Do I wish passion to explore.
Be someone I can come home to
When my exhausting day is through.
Count yourself a well-worn shoe -
A friend that I can slip into . . .
Protection from a stone cold floor . . .
For this I ask and nothing more."
Agreement made, he took her hand
And lived the life that she had planned,
Always willing, not demanding,
Aiding her with understanding
He made her smile with humorous wit
(As his restrictions would permit)
And, bit by bit, she came to feel
That he was more than iron and steel.
"I love you, robot", she at last
Replied when several months had passed.
"You're strength and quiet dignity
Have brought a wondrous change in me.
No more do I feel all alone,
And pray you must be flesh and bone.
Deep-set emotions you MUST feel
Within that outer coat of steel!"
"If I were able, I would say
I'm sorry I was made this way
But my design and programmation
Does not provide for that creation
Of feelings normal men may feel
That were not born of iron and steel.
I told you all this once before.
You have no right expecting more."
"Go, then!" cried she. "I will not live
Beside a fiend who cannot give!
Though I be battered by misuse,
Misguided trust and strong abuse,
At least the men I chose were real
And had the power to love and feel.
Of all the lovers I recall,
You are the cruelest one of all!"
The robot, indestructible,
Continues freely and at will.
Emotionless, apparently,
But, bearing closer scrutiny,
One can see a small tear streak
Down that cold, metallic cheek
As I reflect upon my life . . .
That lovely lady was my wife.
The robot, of course, was me.
Complete with broken love affairs
And promises that never came,
But faded with a touch of shame,
A pretty girl with golden hair
And innocence so sadly rare,
Strove to keep her head above

There are so many people who cannot show emotions and feelings very easily. Many times they are misinterpreted as being cold or unfeeling and pay the consequences when, all the while, they just want to be open and expressive like everyone else.
They just can't.
They just can't.

I loved the poem it was like a short story and it touch me. I thought it was phenomenal. I would give this a ten! - Jessica |
|
wow this is one of those ballads where you really have to stop and think about the deep creativity and mind the author must contain after all of Mr. Macks work i have to stop and take a hard glance at who i am as a writer and as a person. breath taking, simply, breath taking - Dylan |
|
oh my god this is sooo real and so sad why does this have to be so god save us all bless you - sue |
|
To hear that he had such an outlook like that and to have emotions like that kinda makes me sad, yet I connect to him because I go through life feeling like that everyday and I am yet still a teen. Nearing being an adult I would never want to make someone feel that kind of hate to me. It breaks my heart that someone would feel like that to write such a moving poem like that. Yet I must say this is wonderful work. I admire this kind of work although I am more of the type to write very deep and dark stuff and I hardly ever post or publish a lot of it but still I must say I look up to this person. - Acacia |
|
I just thought the poem was very beautifully written. - shannon |
|

|
hi michael. im just here to say that u have a real talent and you need to keep up the awesome work!this poem almost made me cry for i like my best friend jeremy, but he'll never know it for he likes other girls. hopefully he'll see this poem and i can tell him. i cant really express my feelings well and result in him thinking im heartless or something. but ur poems keep me happy and u should be proud. - kali |

|
this was a really good one. one of the best so far u know. keep on doin wat ur doin. - kassie |
|
I like this poem because even tho i'm female, and reasonably young, I can still relate to it. I have jus recently split up from a bf who refused to talk, and listen. He wouldn't discuss things with me and wouldn't engage in meaningful conversation. This poem highlights both sides of the 'argument'. And has made me feel I can see it from his side. I think it's a brilliant poem. - Vicky |
|
It was rather long but the twist was good. I love being suprised at the end. - Jennifer |
|
It is beatiful. I think there are too many ppl that have the love reight by there side and just cant see it. - Juliana |
|
omg i love that poem!it was really beautiful and i just loved the way it rhymed and was put together. these other people are saying this is one of their favorites. well this IS my favorite poem. Michael, you are talented. what are you doing posting this on a site? go out in the world and write a book and become rich and famous!this reminds me of my best friend jeremy who cant admit his feelings. ill have to reccomend this to him. - kali |
|

|
I really like this poem. it kinda confused me like in the middle. but then at the end I got what it was saying. it's actually kind of sad tho. but it's really good and I like it - Amanda |
|
Your poem really inspired me to show how i feel. I never really thought how much it would hurt others. Thank you and keep up the good work! - Dani |
|
It was beautiful, emotional. You can feel and understand watch the story unfold as you read. This is a great poem. - Jessie |
|
I agree with you. Love is different for each persona and each relationship. I have met some people that are not cold and unable to feel, they just do not know how. I just look deep into thier eyes and watch, and remember that all humans do it, some just do not know how to express it! - zach |
|
Wow. This is absolutely stunning. I've yet to see a poem like this. I have a fascination with robots, so of course I'd look at it. You took the cake and ate it too, my friend. - Sarah |
|
This poem is simply amazing. - Concetta |
|
i loved the poem i understood the feelings it told a sort of storey - Sarah |
|
it was nice - jazzmine |
|
awesome. wat is said cant b said in a better way than this - rana |
|
It has been quite some time, since I have heard such a testimony that touched me in a way such as this. I once was able to express my emotions in a way that simply my words would make others sob, and wonder in amazement how I could do so. I, myself have become a robot because not only am I unable now to express myself through poetry and sonnets, as before, I cannot in emotionally in relationships as well. I too, lost a love for that reason and I can relate to your poem like you were speaking my life. It must have been painful, but it is beautiful! It lingers! - Venessa |
|
I really liked how this poem flowed, much like a story. Many poems are repetitve but this one drew me in and showed me a part of human I rarely see. Thanx for this poem and continue writing. You obviously have a gift. Out of loss comes a gain, which in your case is writing - Sven |
|
I think this was a great poem. It truly reflects how some people express their emotions. Sometimes you look at them. See a person standing in front of you, but you get the response of something electronic. - wanda |
|
I am a poet and that was really good I like how you kept the reader at the edge or your words and the ending was great - Trinasha |
|

|
I thought your poem was really cool. I was really moved by it. - Tierra |
|
The feelings expressed by the husband here is so like men in general. We have that cold, calculating logic (cold steel) that enables to function as men but so often, fails us when we enter into personal relationships. We allow our logic etc. , to define our feelings. The poem seems to make me address that cold fact and doing so, I have to, at least, try to change my nature. This poem speaks to me and I like it! - WAYNE |
|
My first visit to this forum and the first poem I read. was me. It sent such tingling, rushing emotion through me that I felt a wetness in my eye. I loved the poem and hope you do continue writing them as I will continue reading them. Thanks - Steel |

WOW! The experience I felt when reading this grasped my breath and emptied me of all despair. In such words you have found a way to explain what it is like to create a casing of protection from pain or any feelings. Although I try my best, your poem is by far the greates I have ever read. It encompasses such great artistic virtues its unbelievable. Thank you! - Chris |

Oh! I do love a poem that inspires me to be a better writer. one thing I do not understand. it's hard for me to envision you as that Robot! You obviosuly know how you share your emotions. through poetry even! My heart goes out to you. ! Good luck with everything! - Dani |
|
WOW! - CHRIS |
|
i really liked this poem because i can relate to what it is saying! - becca |
|
Sadly, I came across your poem far too late. My cardboard cut out of a man has left and now I know his love was great. If this drama queen could turn back time she would have realized what was on his mind. This was a lesson I had to learn, now I search for Robots, I will leave no stone unturned! ( Take time to heal and do not fear another MRS. Robot will soon be there) - Lisa |
|
I'm at lose for words. I love your poem. - D |
|
Thank you for reminding me of the inability to express love freely rather than the lack of desire to. If I choose to forget, I may lose somebody very special to me, the love of my life. Thank you, he is worth it. - Amy |
|
Loved it! - KATTT |
|
I don't know much about poems but this one really got me! I loved it! And I thought it's a bit like a sad fairy tale. the romance of a robot:D! - Liz |
|
A pleasure to read, both in syntactical structure and content. I am not often moved by other people's words but you caught what is to me the art of poetry; You expressed so much more than the story you wrote. - Tim |
|
Beautifully written. Expressions of countless heart's emotions. However, it does not end there. this poem my dear Michael, is jsut the begining. Continue the journey. I would love to read it all. - Meena |
|
this poem is so great. i liked it a lot. writing is very good. i guess it will touch many more robots out there. - liz |
|
I believe that your poem is very indepth and well plotted. i do believe it was more of a story than a poem, but never the less it was spectacular. Well written and you ave my congratulations. I hope that you continue to bless us by posting your amazing creations. Keep writting and take care - Ryan |
|
i like this. thanks for writting this. it is really good. - daisy |

|
You made a 240lb 6' guy cry when he read that! I have been your "Robot" for the past 6. 5 years. Not a tough guy, just the Robot you speak of. My family was never "touchy feely" and therefore neithor was I. I loved her with all my heart, my "programmation" go in the way. :( THANX! I see I am not alone! - Silly |
|
Praise 2 u my good man for putting into beutiful words how so many of us feel,including me. u are an inspiration to us all - axel |

|
Very sad poem. It was nicely written. - A |

|
Your poem brought a tear to me, it was a reminder of my ex-husband. Very well written ! - Shaz |
|
Great poem, it struck me as to how similar I often feel. Like a robot. - Win |
|
This poem was a great poem, it showed that she loved him in return but he at the time he felt different, people should take this poem to heart and realize that because you are scared or because you don't want them to know, you must express yourself, or down the line you may be caught in the same situation. I know I have been in the very same situation, and I do regret my decision but that is soemthing I will live with. act for today not tommorow! - Tiny |
|
the robot was no other than me - anne |
|
great great i like this poem alot! - Lindsey |
|
IT IS A GREAT POEM. REALLY TOUCHES THE HEART. - IDA |
|
This was great. I too am separating from what I thought was my "robot" husband! I am e-mailing to him to try and build some bridges. Feelings matter but this expresses the fact that it does not come naturally to everyone. Thank you M - Sandi |
|
WOW! - Lace |
|
Right on! I hope other people who are experiencing this will read it. I found great comfort and some understanding in my life. I now know that it wasn't me who was being rejected. - Robin |
|
I can't believe i am saying this but i loved it,heyMack you rule. - Jefrey |
|
I loved your poem M.M., it hit my heart more than any poem I read today. I am sad to say I am "the" woman in your poem and I am in the process of leaving my robot husband. It's very touching and very sad. What happens to the robot after she leaves? Should she stay? They are so different these two characters and you've depicted them well. thankyou. - Annette |
|
i love your poem. it make me think of my ex boyfriend and how much i miss him.. i t makes me want to cry. - britney |
|
Alas - it truly expresses the pain the robot feels at not being able to express himself, and the pain that I (the wife of the robot)feel, knowing that he has a rich soul that cannot express itself. The pain he (the robot) feels hurts us too! I am truly moved by this poem that I unexpectedly came upon. - Gail |
|
Loved it. I think we all need to appreciate that not everyone can be as openly emotional as others. The poem was well written. - Colin |
|
I really enjoyed that one a lot thank you for sharing - firecherry |

This poem is amazing, and I am going to read it to my class if I can ever get it translated to Spanish. - Jennifer |

This took my breath away by the end of the poem. I've fallen in love with a certain "robot" before, and it's heart-wrenching. I know he loves me, but he can't bring himself to show it. It's like he's been "programmed" to go through life not being able to express his emotions. I can relate to you and this poem so much. Thank you. Oh, and remember that if someone really loves you enough, they'll understand and accept you just the way you are. Hang in there, robot... - Jessica |

it was awesome to hear someone pu into words how so many people feel when they dont express their emotions how others anticipate or realize. - Candyman |
