Heart of Bronze

from In the Arms of a Goldfinch by Christa Wilcox

lyrics

1,2,3,4
Before we leave let’s draw our white flags
Raise them high even if they are just rags
You asked me why you were once so fond of me
Maybe it’s because I’ve got a heart of bronze baby

And now that it’s turning green
You just aren’t as keen
Let’s just wave our rags and leave

You break the silence and you ask me how I am
I say “Almost happy but too tired for that”
You say “Baby we’re packing only one suitcase this time,
Should we take your toothbrush or should we take mine”

Two years later, light comes in through moving leaves
Hanging from the tree that I’m parked beneath
And I’m feeling like a better version of myself these days
At the cost of not having a say in anything

So before we leave let’s draw our white flags
Raise them high even if they are just rags
