To have a heart
To feel genuine emotion
Pain in love
Regret in loss
Passion
With each
Beat of
That beloved contraption
Pumping those feelings
All through me
The gentleness making me free
Chopping through the fear
My courage
Yet I can't have these things
Without a heart
My only wish
A sweet apple of love
A heart
With a zipper I would lock it
My only true passion a heart
So I will lament forever
For this heart I do not own
So please wizard grant my wish
As you hear this
A tin man's lament.
