Heart Of Stone Poem by Carrie Everett

Heart Of Stone

Rating: 5.0


We were so in love that night.
I watched, you proved it with your eyes.
They were filled with a heavenly light.
My mind and body still full of delight.
Tremmors running strong, long after we left.
My heart racing, my body throbbing, my head spinning,
And my mom looking at me in unspoken question.
Trying to understand what happened
To fill me with such glowing happiness
And wondering upon where the change occured.
But everything changed this summer.
The director caught us in a corner.
And since then I have hardly gotten a murmur.
You are a turtle, hiding in it's shell.
But don't think I can't see when your Head pops out.
Oh yeah, I can tell.
You drive me crazy!
My mind is restless, at school, in bed.
Every unconscious thought running straight to you.
I can't get you out of my head!
I'm reminded of the bruise that was on my leg.
The by-product of out 'big' fall.
While I was lifted up,
Until the ground met my knees
And the pipe met my leg.
It's amazing how sturdy you can be.
The first is not always the best,
But I know you would ace ANY test!
And for that, I'm on the verge of hate.
For, in the moonlight we sought each other,
But, in the daylight we fought each other.
The same held true yesterday and today.
You know how to make me start and make me pay.
So, which will it be the next day?
The real question, though
Is what would you do
If you woke up one morning
To find me gone?
Will you still have the Heart of Stone?
