Because for you in Love I scribed, And now I chastened lie, A bitter Truth I have imbibed; Of how hearts come to die. For metaphor of Love I yearned, It's kin to stars' bright, zesty burn.
But don't be fooled to think that I, Devote all I hath writ to you, For man who stamps on butterfly, Is not the one to woo. I am a poet, touched by joy, There will be another boy.
