petrified heart

A Poem by mournful bear


petrified heart of gray, eyes of black, nothing left to betray, no shadow to cast. all lost in a flash. locked in a catacomb of dreaded memories. no splinters of light to end these forgettable miseries.  Ahead is not for us unloading the burden will ease your path leave it where it lay. selfless acts will not be recognized at times like these. only the strong trample meek. don't forget your future "withhold emotion it is a futile necessity only meant to debilitate, one distant abysmal memory will surface a familiar thought that was lost with contrivance." Use me as anchor cut the tether and let me drown. slowly descend, I will no longer be visible from the surface; YOU, my last glance. Here no one remembers build me no marker, I seek solitude. no cenotaph in your heart.  Bring no priest, Play no strings, say no words, shed no tears, let me rest, make it rain, lose the stone, pile the earth and walk away. Leave no flowers nor peddles, forget this day for all eternity. And I shall rise when the time comes, I shall see the light dim as it may be squinting. I will be found yet not saved. Out of the filth rinsed with autumn rains all sins drain to where they came from pieces of you go along

Absolutely agree. You're welcome. :)
This is moving, MB. I understand that in life we experience pain and miseries that deadened out hearts.
Hope that "you shall rise when the time comes..."

Nice piece. Keep going.
