Nerves of Steal and a Copper Toned Heart

I am malleable

every "stern hand" that's hit, left a dent,

but

never broke the skin

 

My tissue is made of copper and my bones are steal.

I may be

cold to the touch, but I conduct the atmosphere.

 

I was forged in a mix of 

molten pain and chilling love.

So I am shaped and bent like abstract are

                                  that's pretty to look at but you dont really

                                                                "get it"

 

Because I'm malleable I bend to people's whim.

I'll twist myself around their finger

like the coil in a pen,

removed by restless hands.

 

Best of all, I can be reformed,

melted down,

and cooled into

a swored ment to carve into fighters

or hopefully

a ringh just as powerfull

ment to connect heartfel lovers.
