Petrified Rust

My words I've tried to put it into words My eloquence wanes, withered and woolen Shakespeare I'm not My song I've tried to put it into song My melody flails, falling flat Gershwin I'm not Yet My Heart My heart beats strong on the strength of your love My rivers run swift on the depth of our love Without your love, I've a heart full of dust Hollow and hardened Petrified rust

I could see this as a greeting card verse. It reads beautifully and closes poignantly. I'd say it's perfect!
