Heartless Poem by Clinton MacDonald

Every day I consider my life
And my enmity grows for it with strife
Some people say I'm heartless
But others see they're wrong
No doubt, to emotion's I've said so long
Cause on October 29th 2003
I cried all my tears, out to the sea
I lost all my fears when I looked into your eyes
It was the last time I'd ever see her face
No one was there to be my brace
Nothing could prepare me for that day
And with the final pulses of your heart
There was nothing left, but for you to depart
I watched as you left in agony
To a place that I can't reach you
And on that day, October 29th,2003
I cried all my tears and lost all my fears
No wonder people find me heartless
There's nothing left in me to give
Not even God will I forgive
Nothing could prepare me for what you'd bring that day
And what I'd lose that day
You're eyes never looked more hurt
I couldn't turn away in a place I didn't belong
I was there to say my last so long
A so long that surrounded my heart and made it cold
And buried it behind a barrier
As time passes it just gets pushed farther away
To others it seems I'm heartless
And in a way I am
Cause I refuse to let my emotions show
And I refuse to let anyone in
Thank you for the time we had
Who could imagine it would end so bad
You were the one that held my world together
The one that allowed my heart to show
But now I hide it deep and low
So don't mistake me as heartless
I'm far from that
It's just on October 29th,2003
I cried all my tears, and lost all my fears
