I am ill and have no salve nor tonic, No solace for a heart worn by grief, No reprieve for a soul crushed with regret, I am but a plaything for Love, A rag doll to be hurled around By a petulant God, Punishing Man for his hubris, His gall to demand happiness, An impudence unforgivable, Punishable by a lifetime of Emotional flagellation and damnation Damnation, *forsooth **** this bottomless heart, **** this burning blood it pumps, **** this undying fire, Burning for a dead icon, Like a dog bringing sticks to his master’s grave,* This fire burns almost to prove a point With no regard for life, Until it razes this body clean to the ground

Rag Doll
I am ill and have no salve nor tonic, No solace for a heart worn by grief, No reprieve for a soul crushed with regret, I am but a plaything for Love, A rag doll to be hurled around By a petulant God, Punishing Man for his hubris, His gall to demand happiness, An impudence unforgivable, Punishable by a lifetime of Emotional flagellation and damnation Damnation, *forsooth **** this bottomless heart, **** this burning blood it pumps, **** this undying fire, Burning for a dead icon, Like a dog bringing sticks to his master’s grave,* This fire burns almost to prove a point With no regard for life, Until it razes this body clean to the ground
