heart of rusty pitted steel
unyielding yet weakened
exposed to wind and weather
the acidic atmosphere
so full of love, seeking hope
always wondering why (not)
weakened by my own words
pieces of my framework missing
touch my heart (go on, touch it)
scratch the surface
under the rust it gleams
shiny and full of love
it beats strong
in spite of the weather
against the wind and rain
it skips (a beat) but never fails
don't be afraid, fear destroys everything
