Heart of Stone

a poem

Your love is a heavy boulder
Sitting stubbornly in place
No aspiration to move
Pleading, begging and shoving
Tired of forcing attention
Please look at me in the eyes
Tell me how much you love me
That you miss me when I’m gone
Deep inside I know there’s care
Heart of gold or heart of stone?
I miss how we used to be
All the memories of us
Running around wild and free
These days all you seem to do
Is running away from me
Tell me, do you still love me?
Am I a nuisance, an itch?
You’re my best friend till the end
I thought you felt the same way
All these dreams you had for us
Thrown away like paper planes
Fun to make, hard to survive
Were the happy times a lie
Hidden deep under the ground
The truth became a beanstalk
No choice to ignore, deny
A large giant in the sky
Using me like a floormat
Hard to push down all these fears
When I can’t push you away
