Affection 'twas but an unattainable luxury towards but one poor, artificial husk of what was once a joyous, incandescent flame.

No matst how 't tried, 'twas all it's efforts naught but left with a chasm yet gaping evermore. This void of feeling 'twas naught more than an illusion, but present nonetheless.

It kept but a grin on it's face in the clouded vises of infatuation, as they commit acts of bondage with other reprehensible souls. It proceeded even when Earth and all her brothers and sisters were collapsing on it.

But alas, all things physical are destined to collapse, as too this husk of what was a man.
