Will You Love Me?

They say sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me

I love to argue that point

Because your words hurt me

They were words enveloped in lies

Lies that swerved like bullets strait to the heart

I did not know my heart was the bull eyes for your lies

Ironically I'm sitting on clouds while my feet are heavily cemented to the ground.

A different man walked by he wanted to sweep me off my feet

So I told him

I’m grounded you can’t pull me away from this concrete

That cage around my heart is locked up tight

There is no key I threw to the ocean

So I got this locked down

The finest of blacksmiths can’t figure this thing out

I’m on the other side of a mountain

Can you move mountains?

Can you move this mountain to get to me without giving up?

Will you make it to my heart?

Because to my knowledge only god moves mountains

Mechanical heart with mechanical parts

I turned the off switch

Because I have a crackling heart with missing parts

Been jerked around kicked around like an old piece of junk

Now I understand the tin man

Heartless tin man lost in the woods.

A man who forgot how to love

Human turned to tin

No room for a fragile tender heart to fit in his rigid chest

My heart is cold I cannot feel I am numbed out with this blizzard

An ice age has taken place

And an ice block has replaced its spot

See baby if you really want to love me

I’m going to you need you to be my locksmith

And swim for me along the wild sharks with razor sharp teeth to find that key

Will you find me?

I’m going to need you to create miracles and

Move mountains with faith

Because I have none to give

And if your going to love me!!

I’m going to need you to be my mechanic

Pick me up from the shelf dust me off and shine me up

Can you fix my old mechanical heart?

Will you be my wizard of oz?

And grant me my one wish

Help me find a pulse

And if you’re going to love me will be my warm hot summer nights

Will you melt me away?

“The Tin Man now had no heart to love with and forgot how to love so he just kept chopping wood until he got stuck in the rain and rusted. We were once human, made from flesh and blood but in the pain from life we have become broken people made from tin.”Mitchell Richards
