Mechanical Heart


Once upon a time, 
A girl gave her heart to a boy,
But outside its cage of bones, it was unstable.
It had started crumbling and deteriorating,
so she replaced it with a robotic heart
in hopes of repairing the damage. 
But the damage was done,
her true heart has crumbled,
And now she is deserted,
Left abandoned with the torment,
The agony of a heart of metal,
A heart that could not feel anything,
Except for the pain of its weight.
