Tin Man

Eyes wide open, yet they're shut
What stands before me goes unseen
Pain and hurt calling out
But my ears are sealed to the cry

My skin so calloused
My hide so thick
No emotions penetrate
No emotions displayed

In the corner of my eye
Stands my other half
Suffering alone and wondering
What's wrong with him?

How could he not feel?
How could he not see?
How could he not help?
Why did he ignore me?

My head hangs in shame
Wondering what I could have been
Her night in shining armor
Instead I'm the rusted Tin Man
