The man who can't be moved

The man who can't be moved

A Poem by Celestie

I've stood in solemn solitude for all the days of my life 
For the ones I truly loved drifted away 
They left me one by one, leaving melancholy in their wake 
So I stand here festering in my despondent decay  

Of course they would leave, I gave them no reason to stay 
I filled their lives with ceaseless strife 
But it hurts to realize that all those smiles were so fake 
And now the festering in my soul cuts through my body like a knife 

So I take the pain and accept it, and solemnly I stand 
For taking that step and moving on is far too much grief for me to take 
Standing here like this helped enforce the sadness that I proved 
The sadness that I I proved felt knifes and guns and stakes 

Sometimes I wonder if this desolate life was something my heart had always planned
for now I hear everyone speaking of the man who could not be moved

You kind of missed out on a satisfactory resolution to this one when you titles the poem 'the man who can't be moved' but ended it with 'the man who could not be moved.'
I applaud your rhyming to a complex scheme.
