Warm flesh pressed to cold metal
A kiss pressed to waiting lips 
Human and machine combined
Familiar and alien, loved but feared
Past and present, a battle well fought
There is no way forward with her by his side
There is only one word for what she is now 

Monster 

There is only one word for who he is now
There is no way back to undo what was done
Present and future, a difficult path
Lover and mentor, trusting yet wronged
Hero and demon both
Lies and threats, the click of a gun
Cold metal pressed to warm flesh

Love the rhythm here - this is beautifully constructed so you really feel all the contrasts.

Thank you. I wasn't sure the structure worked.

I love the way you wrote this. The way one paragraph mirrors the other is just awesome.

Thank you. I really wasn't sure the mirroring worked.

Well written. Dark, but good! I like the way the second half mirrors the first but in reverse.
