A Stone Heart

One day walking down a dirty road
out of the blue sky a spear darts
I look up and see it heading at me.
I try and run but it follows where I go
it seems I am it's goal it's purpose
with a stone heart what can it gain?

It cannot pierce no matter it's strength
a stone heart is just that a stone heart
no gravitational pull can eradicate ever.
The games up the score settled sadly
the bite of some firefly's deemed deadly
a beating heart turned into hard, cold stone.

If it looks like a heart, beats like a heart then it must be.....ya know   this is powerful reading my friend, and at times I wish that I could turn my heart to stone so as not to feel the pain that often comes but then I wouldn't feel anything else and to miss that would be a shame.  Thank you for sharing your gift with us.

 Hold me for yesterday
Kiss me for tomorrow
But love me for today.
