Hardened Ears Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Hardened Ears
Written by: Wilfred Mellers July 24,2015


Hello my beloved friend
Just writing you once again
Tell me, how long has it been?
Some time has passed since God knows when

Interaction has been one sided
Calm sea now yet the storm hasn't subsided
Chances given now are truly slim
Oceans divide I tried foolishly to swim

So long since I've heard your voice
You've left me with absolutely no choice
Efforts all are totally in vain
Seems like I won't hear from you again

So I write despairingly seeking
Silent lips rarely speaking
Placed my ears to the ground
Mouth opened comes out no sound

Yes I'm still here and alive
Through the storm, I shall survive
Wasting my time to sit and write
Responding you never so impolite

Yet I still try to correspond
Hoping one day you will respond
Quickly passing through the years
Words have fallen on hardened ears

My sovereign from the day we met
So easily me you forget
No need for me to get upset
My loss someday you'll truly regret

So many days pass into night
They'll come a time I shall no longer write
For how long shall you put up a fight?
Never fear my dear for I'll be alright
