The Tin Man

The tin man, is who I want to be Your words wouldn't hurt me No pain would I feel No tears would I cry When the sun didnt shine The birds didnt sing And raindrops fell all about me I wouldnt really care I'd have no heart you see When you didnt call Or I caught you in a lie No teardrops would fall My heart wouldnt break I wouldnt really care at all I'd sleep the whole night through No sad lonely dreams of you No endless days of pain Everyday would be the same Yes the Tin Mans who I want to be Please, Mr. Wizard No Heart for me!

Nice write Florence! Sad but well-written. It does seem sometimes that having no heart would be simpler than feeling hurt but then it means we won't feel anything at all! And that would be so much worse I guess. Aargh! Tough.
