My heart was mechanical Oiled always by love Cogs moved independently Springs always moving in rhythm This was love in my heart Intricate pieces moving as one Affection, Emotion, Trust, Was what fuelled this love It beat strong Never wearing down Always would it beat strong But then betrayal Disloyalty, Sorrow, Neglected Dirt had entered this heart Oil contaminated Springs oxidized Cogs bent out of shape Broken parts, littered the floor of this heart What once ran smooth, Started to go cold Cobwebs, Vines, Empty, Was this damaged heart Where once movement Who could mend This once loved heart, Then the tinkerer entered her life Full of friendship It took Time, for her to let him in But what once was reclusive Friendship, Blew the cobwebs away Companionship Cut the vines away Loyalty Filled that empty space Love Was the catalyst, that started This clock work heart again, Some piece, still lay On the hearts floor, For if a clock work heart is broken It will never be as it was before, The rust faded oiled once more A clock work heart is a fragile Piece, Only give it to those who will Hold it gently in there grasp.
