Slavery of the Heart

How strange that you should take a heart
and smile
is it defence that leaves you like this
a façade style
to give and promise an open line
and save a life
with one hand bind your back
shadowing a knife
what is the point to all this childishness
to make love a game
look, they too have a heart, tears and mind
yes, we are the same
Yet, he finds himself on bruised knee
pleading as ever for the sane to awaken
to join with him to set the heart free
- the true humanity that is forsaken
But alas, time is but a foe now for him
the forgotten soul
collapsing backwards with a shock
robots playing the role
the pages of records that talk of the old
dead, but still they scream
the damned box, and endless glossy page
cage a heart in a dream
no-one here seems to be real anymore
just movement before his eye
who once would talk with an optimist tongue
now all lost, tongue tired.

| Whatever has been said has certainly left an impression, and a little unhappiness, hope all seems better in the morning, good use of words. |

I actually made two spelling mistakes.
In the 7th line, bind = behind.
The last line tired = tied...
guess I was 'tired' when I typed it up!! lol |
