Even Tin Men can love (2013)

 

It is not love I think of

When I think of you,

Though I wish it was,

This desperate

Tin Man chest

Echoing from being

Empty for so long,

It pleases me

To hear a beat,

Even if it is only

The echo

Of my pounding

On my own chest,

I’m not claiming

A Tim Man can’t love,

I’ve rusted myself silly

With tears I’ve wept,

Assuming love as the cause,

And envy those

With no brain or courage

Because they love

Without regret,

Without caring

If it is good or bad,

Right or wrong,

They just love.

A man with a brain

Or one who is too bold,

Might miss it,

Where as the rust

Freezes me here

Only makes it hard

To express

Love and not feel it.
