There’s a Stone in My Heart

There's a stone in my heart
where once was warmth.
Instead it's rugged and charred,
for you will not be mourned.

For the storm has now been repelled,
blowing the dirty clouds that followed
your depressing rains that always fell
like heavy tears carried in deep-well echoes.

Only dreams bring back the curse
that kept you here near me.
With these words the spell's reversed
Finally! Alas, I'm free.

This poem, written by Willy Martinez was written in experimenting with a,b,a,b rhyme format.
