As Your Cold Heart Denies My Love

As Your Cold Heart Denies My Love I can not change your cold heart, Or force you to again lovingly speak. Sad your choice is we remain apart. That again, our love I dearly seek: I can not change your cold heart! I can not change your cold heart; Nor storm the many castles you build. Despite my sad pleas for another start, you hating me, refuse to ever yield, I can not change your cold heart. I can not change your cold heart; Change your mind, if only I ever could, forever hold you and never part! Rejoin our love by any sacrifice I would I can not change your cold heart. I can not change your cold heart, Or remove that hate in your dark eyes: Behind that stare awaits a poison dart, to fling at me based upon many lies; I can not change your cold heart. Robert J.

Sorry for your loss, Robert. Poetry that's based off real events always makes for the most impactful reading.

This was beautiful, even if a bit melancholy. Reading this through, I almost expected it to sound repetitive with the refrain, but surprisingly it didn't, and only added to the rhythm. Very well written, Robert.

I had hope the refrain stood well and did not overpower the message and the depth of misery in the great loss. Poem is based on a real life experience, sadly , time moves on and that beautiful lady has now passed on, liveth no more.
