Broken Bot

To keep others safe, I must shut down.
Don't try to persuade me from doing this.
Loving, caring, trusting have only hurt
Those that I loved and cherished dearly.
I'm tired of being broken, but broken I am.
There is no helping or saving me now.
I'm already growing number and colder.

Goodbye, my tattered little heart.
You'll be missed before I forget you.
I'll be the perfect sentinel who fails,
Just like when I still loved and ticked.
I fell in love, only to cause her pain.
Love is supposed to heal and grow, right?
So this broken bot is finally gonna rest.

Thanks for trying to keep me running, my good pal.
