Hardened Ears Poem by Wilfred Mellers

Hardened Ears
Written by: Wilfred Mellers July 24,2015

Hello, my beloved friend.
Just writing you once again.
Tell me, how long has it been?
Some time has passed since God knows when.

Interaction has been one-sided.
Calm sea now yet the storm hasn't subsided.
The chances given now are truly slim.
Oceans divide I tried foolishly to swim.

So long since I've heard your voice.
You've left me with absolutely no choice.
Efforts are totally in vain.
Seems like I won't hear from you again.

So I write despairingly seeking.
Silent lips rarely speaking.
I placed my ears on the ground.
Mouth opened comes out no sound.

Yes, I'm still here and alive.
Through the storm, I shall survive.
Wasting my time, sitting and writing.
Responding you are never so impolite.

Yet I still try to correspond.
Hoping one day you will respond.
Quickly passing through the years.
Words have fallen on hardened ears.

My sovereign from the day we met.
So easily you forget,
And there's no need for me to get upset.
My loss someday you'll truly regret.

So many days pass into the night.
There'll come a time, I shall no longer write.
For how long shall you put up a fight?
Never fear my dear for I'll be alright.
