Wilma Neels Poet Lyric

'this Heart Don'T Beat For You Anymore'

It might look convincing 
But I just don’t feel it anymore
When people talk about it
I don’t feel it anymore
The rhythmic blows don’t hit home
The sounds are all spent
Just hollow, the refrain
It doesn’t mean a thing
I don’t think it ever did


The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth 
Wall to wall 
On a path to nowhere
'Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore


You don’t need to feel it
‘Cause it’s written all o’er my face
It’s not like I planned it
It’s just the way things ended
Hearts can’t be dictated
I’m sorry if this hurts 
But I can’t play this role no more
I’m sorry if I’m breaking your heart


The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth 
From wall to wall 
On a path to nowhere
‘Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore


Saying I don’t feel it
Boils down to conviction
The moving signs are everywhere
It’s clear like daylight
My heart refuses to beat for you

The beating of your heart
Is not a conduit anymore
It’s like walking a labyrinth 
From wall to wall 
On a path to nowhere
‘Cause this heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat,
This heart don’t beat for you anymore

Michael J. Falotico January 5, 2011 at 2:19 PM Im a big Beatle fan as you which means Elton John would follow not that far behind.. Your words and feelings make up beautiful lyrics to it..Sir Elton would be proud as am I...RE. "Helped You Fly" you have read into to it perfectly..sometimes the people you help don't see it the same, but I won't change who I am.. then it wouldn't be me....with Love always Michael

Linda-Marie Sweetheart January 5, 2011 at 12:54 PM Emphatic words Wilma.. the refrain in this piece is brilliant and creates no doubt the emotion u want to express ...a special piece of poetry and a tremendous read my friend.. thankxx for your wonderful comment son my poetry and please please send some of that lovely heat from Cape Town to me .. as another snowstorm is predicted this weekend luv..

Carolyn Devonshire January 5, 2011 at 10:12 AM Although I haven't heard this Elton John tune, I can relate to the feelings you express so eloquently, Wilma. When feelings of love cease to exist, it is usually apparent to one who still cherishes you. But in cases where it's not perceived, it's best to set them free with an honest expression of your emotions. Excellent poem that should do well in John's contest, my friend. Always wishing you success! Love, Carolyn

Robert Pettit January 5, 2011 at 9:31 AM I'm not familiar with this Elton John song, but you have chosen some good words here to tell a descriptive poetic story.

Dr.Ram Mehta January 5, 2011 at 6:02 AM I have not read or heart this of Elton John. But the way you have written yours gives an inkling of it, Wilma. Good luck in the contest.
