Mag 27: The Wails of a Rusty Pipe

Image
Time passes, Iron decays, My purpose is fading, my structure eaten away. See the way I cry when I'm put to work? It only eats at me more, It only hurts. Everyday I wait for the moment, when they will take me off this wall and I cease to ferment. The fires of hell I hear men speak, sound wonderful and pleasant, Oh what a treat!

And when I tightly hold your hand, The warmth spreads out across the sand, That God used and molded into me, That love abused and froze in the sea. To scream and run and dance and sing, To be with you means everything. Don't leave me in your complacent crust, Don't just stand there and let me rust. Pull me in and never let go. Embrace the fire that burns so slow. And when you come home, come home to my heart. Please open the door, please ta
