Iron Heart Poem by Ray Sinclair

Death will come, in finite hour, you cannot stay,
Frail, old and lonely in your bed you lay,
An iron caged heart, struggles to beat beneath your breast,
Are you disillusioned with life, was it a struggle, an endless quest?

Fading memories of dreams so young,
Men you had, sweet lovers songs you sung.
Jaded love, left in your wake,
you became hardened, to closed off for Cupid's sake.

When loves arrow missedtime after time,
you added one more iron bar to hearts confine.
Bitterness, now a familiar taste,
any chance of a lovers redemption gone at pace.

Faces blur of love long since lost,
but still,you caged your heart, was it worth the cost?
