Dear sullen heart
I see you are sorely downcast
Raising darkened cloud over me
Are you about to rain?
Pour down, my heart
Tears are a cleansing balm
Dear gloomy heart
Come, let’s reason out
Why have you taken me ransom
As if I gave up the chase?
I was assiduous, believe me I was
But she, she was not for you
Dear dismal heart
Will you then abandon me
Trailing the wild snaking wind
Knowing she’s been long gone?
Don’t spill over me
The pulsating life within you
Dear beating heart
You said, go, go, go, and I went
Hot pursue by rain and sunshine
Bending backwards to face
Slammed doors and barking hounds
Take consolation that we hunted
Dear broken heart
I see you’re still beseeching for her
But to another she belongs now
Cut the cord and let her go
How long can you fester?
Else alone you stand henceforth
