Heart of Stone

She loved a man without a heart ... Living in a state of sorrow

I saw her walking

In a silent state

They say she walks in mourning

Everyday waiting

 

She loved a man without a heart

One who would not love

She gave him her heart and in return

Got a heart of stone

 

She placed the heart on her chest

Awaiting for the day

When he would come back to her

And give her his true heart

 

It has been a decade or so

No one really knows

She never speaks, never smiles

She simply walks alone

 

The other day I followed her

To the cemetery she went

I saw tears in her eyes

As she cried in pain

 

I wish I could help her

Heal the pain inside

But how can one help heal

Someone without a heart

 

I understand her agony

I understand her emptiness

I understand her silent state

Because she is me

 

The girl who is numb

No emotions, broken love

Living in a state of sorrow

Holding onto a heart of stone

Oh, this is so sad. A little epic piece.

I understand her agony
I understand her emptiness
I understand her silent state
Because she is me..

Beautifully done.

[George Love]

Tragic poetry here. Very sad, but not too dark. I almost hurt while reading it.

[Beautifully Tragic xPoe..]

A beautifully tragic poem. Emotions were captured very well in this peice.


Great Write.

[Mystic Dreams]

What a tragically sad poem! But so beautiful. I like the way it starts by watching a third person which then becomes first person. Even stone crumbles - perhaps there is a warm heart hidden deep inside?

[SM Davis]

I could feel the complete void here. This was a fantastic write. thank you!
