Machine heart



Once again my heart feels heavy, to this there is a painful levy. The tax that is has always been, my hearts becoming a machine. I sometimes feel, but it does not stay so numb I become once more, my emotions slowly fading of this I am now sure. I sense what they feel though my own hard to feel, it always feels cold as my hearts twists into steel,


Now I ponder if the steel can stop from taking over and can emotion be retaught? or do I fail miserably and find trying all for naught? Time has passed and I have failed, I now feel the gears twist and wind as the cogs now shift and grind leaving only apathy in my mind.



with each and every coming day, I feel much more of my heart decay, as my tears begins to rust, the machine becomes me and my heart turn to dust.

About this poem

It's about the hardening of ones heart in a cruel world, sometimes joining the masses in their march through the darkness, they're heart feeling only apathy.
