my heartstrings were the feathers on your quill

Since it was me who started it,

I must then beg your pardon; it

made sense to let my heartstrings

play the tune of your sweet laughter.

 

But use my heart as your ink-pot

and I'll cry tears blue like ink blots,

asking "why?", I'd ask you "why?"

each time you say that we should stop.

 

Words run wet right down the page;

'til ***** and *** taste the same;

'til black and blue blend just one shade.

I thought love was something that lived just next-door-but-one to hate.
