The sky, it appears to be
Falling on your hollow head
But your alkaline earth face
Is neither twisted nor red
Your skin, it appears to me
To be neither soft nor tough
It isn't made out of flesh
But perhaps some harder stuff
And your aluminum hair
Set on your head so sublime
Cascades and flows down your back
Like a Shakespearian rhyme
And your transitional lips
Though soft as a rose petal
Make a mechanical kiss
Colder than earth-dug metal
Your smooth hands, they reach to feel
The lines running through my face
Oh, time could have been kinder
They're too easy to trace
And your touch, it makes me think
Of the women in my past
Memories too well hidden
And voices too faint to last
And those two mercury eyes
Shining bright as any sun
Slowly flow out your sockets
Like tears of sorrow, they run
I can't lie, I am suprised
To witness such sympathy
From one who doesn't appear
Capable of empathy
I guess it just goes to show
That impressions can be wrong
And that of all things on earth
Women are most worthy of song

Note: I'm up late and bored, so I just jotted down some descriptions and tried to tie it down with something relevant. I'm pretty sure there are mistakes, and I know I have an extra syllable in the last line, but i'm tired and going to bed. Leave the revision to the revisionists!
