My heart is like clockwork
You wind up the key and it will beat for you
But it is broken.
Long after you've left
Long after the key has stopped spinning
The gears of my heart keep spinning
And they spin and they spin
And my heart beats and it beats
Still for you
Who first turned the key
By accident or on purpose
But now there is nothing left.
The gears of my heart have worn themselves to nothing
By beating for you.
But still they spin
On rusted axles
And still my heart beats
For you.
You wind up the key and it will beat for you
But it is broken.
Long after you've left
Long after the key has stopped spinning
The gears of my heart keep spinning
And they spin and they spin
And my heart beats and it beats
Still for you
Who first turned the key
By accident or on purpose
But now there is nothing left.
The gears of my heart have worn themselves to nothing
By beating for you.
But still they spin
On rusted axles
And still my heart beats
For you.
That was awesome! Poetry and steam punk, two things I love. This is a steam punk poem. Need I say more? Anyways, I really did like it. You should try sonnets!
