A Cold, Cold Heart Poem by Cj Heck

This is both sad and profound, C.J. Your metaphor about pebbles bouncing is pure and perfect for the poem. And how sad that love often freezes over. Raynette

Brilliant insight CJ. Too many times you see couples who occupy the same space but not the same heart. Nice write Rusty

Beautiful poem... Good work

An exquisitely beautiful poem. Read mine – I Walk in the Sunshine – Adeline

A cold heart is very hard to thaw out. Once it becomes frozen the love will never be that same. Just like a frozen pond. The fishes, tadpoles or whatever inhabits the pond like love will die. An inspiring write C.J.

This one darn near made me cry, C.J. Stop it! lol I'm sure each and every one of us has had a relationship that didn't last, and how profoundly sad and painful an experience it is. You've hit the nail on the head with this one. Well done. Shannon

There are so many ways to read this CJ, one could see it as reflection on how love, the years, physical toil or many other aspect have taken it out on us, whatever way one views it the result is a profound sadness. The opera composer Puccini composed his music along the storyline to elicit tears from the audience. But there is nothing opportunist about this piece. It is affective rather than affecting about one of the saddest aspects of our personal relationships. I think this ranks with Daddy's Boots as one of your pieces that really moved me.
