Words She Never Said

Tinman

I wish I was the tinman

No heart to be broken

No cries to choke on

No one would break through my armour

I would have the power

The power over how I feel

I wouldn't have wounds to heal

Emotions to hide

Because there would be nothing inside

I wish I was the tinman

I wouldn't cry at night

For someone to hold my hand

To take me away

To better days...

Misery only a distant haze

But instead I'm stuck in this maze

Sharp corners cut my body

But not my heart

That stopped beating before it had the chance to start

But that's not the case

Instead it's broken

Broken from something I can't erase

If I were the the tinman

My heart wouldn't be broken

I wouldn't have cries to choke on

I would be strong

I would prove everyone wrong

And make them listen to the words

The words in my song

But I'm not the tinman

My heart is broken

And I have to go now

As I do have cries to choke on.
