writer note: The perspective of Auden from "project: Hug-Bot (Journal)", context after the poem.

***

Prepare to care, pretend to fight.

I'm losing all my human rights.

You've moved on,

Leaving me behind.

You're gone,

Left me hollow on the inside.

I never knew, how deep resides,

That fear filled poisonous lies.

Yet I'm still here,

Somehow still got hope.

Waiting for a day,

I could say I'm staying afloat.

And if by chance,

We meet again,

Know that I still care,

Still your old good friend.

***

writer notes: [spoilers] This poem was written during the Journal's second part - "Puppets (Mar 2019 - May 2019)", when Bot and Auden were separated and Hug-Bot didn't remember Auden's name anymore. The last line is referring to the meaning of the name "Auden" - "old friend", in hopes that it'll ring a bell in Bot's processor.
