I've become automatic
shutting you out
before you even reach the door
almost robotic
there is nothing real here
its just bolts and screws
and a bunch of metal
I've become the wicked witch of Oz
except I'm fighting myself
refusing to accept
my own heart

my
beating
bleeding
heart

Twisted isn't it?
Yes, I know
but I can't break free

or is it won't?

perhaps feeling is too painful
maybe this is my way out
Is it cowardice?
Is it hate?
Is it both?

Cowardly Hate

but towards whom?
too many questions
not enough answers
its hard to hear
with all my gears grinding
so I can't listen to my...
Mechanical Heart.

it is a quiet place one goes to
and watches the sun slip into the love
of a window..listen to it then..

going through the motions and letting the things we do have no meaning, when we know underneath...we are deceiving ourselves for our hearts aren't mechanical...and we're just hiding...

@ Cpat. I'm pretty good at hide & seek.

The fact that I haven't found myself is proof.

Thanx for stopping by.

A good write, and it bespeaks more of mere rust to me than of fear of melting.

This has some clever word play in it. The last stanza was especially good.

@ easy Ah, I'm working right now to scrub the "rust" off, still looking for some good rust-removers tho.

@ Earl, Thanx.

Thanx for stopping by, both of you.

It may be "mechanical" but it transports emotions ...

Enjoyed your ponderings around the heart.
