Concrete In Your Heart

Concrete In Your Heart

Your reincarnation did not last.

You returned with no more wisdom

than before;

No further offering,

no insight,

no promises.

Deeds expressed your intent,

but words were never mine

to tell me how you felt.

And when I asked,

silence created doubt,

spread a plague of suspicion.

Would it last?

Was there a future?

Did you care for me?

And now the second ending has come

and your fear

is set like concrete in your heart.

And so it sometimes goes. I've known a few like this, with concrete in their hearts, speaking sweet words planted on a base of sand.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

Yup all too true!

An upsetting circumstance that you described beautifully." ...like concrete in your heart." I love that! Well done!

One thing, 'concrete' needs the final 'e' in your title. :)

[John Alexander McFadyen]

well spotted!!!! Thanks.

Ouch, shaking my head, finding this reincarnation almost too truthful. Your words are placed very carefully but almost every sentence holds a shadow of 'there could be more..'

[John Alexander McFadyen]

More? More pain, another coming or reincarnation? Almost but no. Am still a happless poet seeking love lol!!!

[emmajoy]

In that case, you have immense imagination when it comes to emotions.. so take my review as a compliment!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

I do. Your reviews always leave something nice. Most of my poetry is from many relationships so mostly all based on fact. I think the Lord just wants me to write ha, ha.....
