Stone Heart
STONE HEART
If only I'd the heart to be
the stronger of the two of we
perchance you'd still be here
and part of you and me
but merciless, love gives no clue
from whence it comes or goes into
the time of day it might appear
then leave, the same as you
I have no mind for fickle thought
nor pain my loving you has brought
when worth my time, I held life dear
but hated life when not;
tomorrow's not another day
but in tonight I cannot stay
so I must needs to cry alone,
and recognize, your heart is stone.
