Metalwork Tears

I am a girl Made of metal and steam You should know that There are gears Where my heart used to be Sometimes, oil drips from my eyes In an effort to lubricate my stiff upper lip And maybe coaxing it into a smile That isn't so fake that glass shatters For it is harder than diamonds Without the shine There are screws in the places Where my eyes would once see But the world is half blind already I'm just taking the steps needed to Survive when the whole world goes blind My very skin is made of the strongest metal So strong no stick nor stone Could dream of breaking it But I can't feel warm breezes or Soft touches either so
