If Only

I have a beating heart

that must be made of silver

It feels so cold, and looks so black,

at least from the outside.

I know it isn't a heart of gold,

but I also know it isn't a heart of stone,

because I feel these

beatings

oh so deeply.

If only someone were to reach inside

to touch my very soul,

perhaps then the tarnish

would be taken away

and once again the light in my eyes would

sparkle.
