The Stony Heart

The Stony Heart
The rumors and whispers are at it again
They tell of a heart turned icy within
With veins of marble, and walls of stone
Interior muscle - the colour of bone
But what could have turned such an affectionate heart,
To a mettle of flesh, so stone cold dark?

No matter the reason, no matter the cause
The heart cannot live forever in loss
The sorrow, the hate, the pain embossed
Is all overwritten – with love once lost
A friendly hand, an affectionate word
Is all that’s needed to rebuild his world


For the heart still yearns to the future that pends
Still waits in earnest, the amicable trend
Delirious with joy, the face of his friend
Infectious smiles to make amends
One day, one day, the rumours say
The stony heart…..will beat again

Lol, thanks. I wrote this poem a few years ago shaa. I think it was in either ss2 or ss3

I was frustrated at the time because of somebody, and then wrote the poem out.
