on the railroad bridge at midnight
a brief flash and you were naked
you trusted me enough to strip
and stand there for a moment
without the armor you said is rusting
i promised not to poke
the soft parts and you laughed
but i won't
that's your job
if you want that heart to beat again
with a lust for life
i will not flake the rust from
the iron underneath
you must pick up the wire brush
and buff yourself clean
nor will i take up shears
to prune away the overgrowth
you've nurtured to protect yourself
you are the gardener of your heart
i will stand strong
and shine a light for you
to work by if you wish
should you decide to leave all as is
choked with the constriction
of the familiar
pocked with the failed armor
of iron oxide
i will not chide you
my heart will be beating
with a lust for life
and i will catch the next train
home
