Clockwork Heart

I have a clockwork heart

Rusted and falling apart

It is my gift to you

With it, what will you do?


It ticks offbeat

Its tocs are weak

The cogs are stuck

Covered in muck


The pain is real

Held in every wheel

Kindness is my crime

It has halted my time


You erased my turmoil

To my heart, you are oil

The cogs begin to turn

For you I beg and yearn


Life is not the same

Death is not a game

You have saved me

Now, I am free
