The aluminium folds Under my able fingers As I shape it to my Will My own tin man I did not choose you To be so heartless Your purity lying in The utter Emptyness of your chest And I, being the human I am Constantly unpure and purifying Find comfort in your Sinlessness Your inability to right me No hope rises around you And no shiver runs down my spine At the touch of your cold skin Frictionless No strings able to attach.

H(u/ea)rtless
The aluminium folds Under my able fingers As I shape it to my Will My own tin man I did not choose you To be so heartless Your purity lying in The utter Emptyness of your chest And I, being the human I am Constantly unpure and purifying Find comfort in your Sinlessness Your inability to right me No hope rises around you And no shiver runs down my spine At the touch of your cold skin Frictionless No strings able to attach.
For me more than anyone in particular.
