Mr. Tin Man

A Poem About Heartbreak

Mr. Tin Man

Mr. Tin Man, why do you want a heart?

They fall apart,

At the drop of a hat.

Did you not know that?

In fact I have many scars across my heart,

I wish I had your armor,

Before another charmer,

Disarms my heart.

The hardest part,

About having a heart,

It easily falls apart.

Your armor is perfection,

At perfect protection,

At deflection,

A heart can lie,

Look you in the eye,

And make you trust,

The body rush,

Tell you it's love

When it's only lust,

It will drive into a bottle,

Full throttle.
