Love Poem: Hardened By Time

Hardened By Time

The heart I have beats silently alone
As dark of night weighs heavily on me
The morning sun shall see it then as stone
A hardened crust that everyone will see

Yet winds, in time, may carry dreams aloft
So maybe hopes will one day then be real
To one adored, so beautiful and soft,
I send my hopes and dreams to her, to feel

I pray that time befriend this lonely heart
I, too, wish that her heart remains with joy
With windblown wishes, that I will impart
My every ounce of strength to then employ

So she will then soften this heart of stone
Destroying that which left it all alone
