Resurrect My Heart Poem by Helen Crutchett

You don't hear my heart's melodies. or
Care about the poems I compose
In my lonely midnight hours...

Or even know of the love that overflows into
An ocean of tears, drowning my soul forever
Down, down into the depth of a bottomless ocean...

You don't hear my heartbeats ticking
Aimlessly as a metronome, draining strength
From my tired mind and body...

I am left alone in the wilting
Garden of what if's and could be's
How did come to this my beloved? ...

Time to lock away my heart
In a dungeon of pain and grief
With my bittersweet hopes...

Longings trapped in memories,
Memories never again to be shared
With you, whom I loved beyond measure~
