Here Lies The Heart Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

Mark where lies the heart that loved you
In gravestone covered tomb of pain
Where night's eternal slumber will undo
The past affections washed in rain.

Silenced now from beats of passion
Deserted loneliness made still
Alone in hidden devastation
The heart that loved against its will.

Where now the vows that it had held?
Hopes that nurtured it in life?
Promises were dreams beheld
That killed its beat as with a knife.

Gone are the tears that now decayed
In mournful sighing deathly laid
Gone purpose, reason, intents prayed
The heart that loved you dearly paid.
