My heart stretched too far
     the moth would never
     reach the star


     love too much I desire
     over-wooed it takes cover
     my longings they die like a quick fire-

     ambition makes me blind
     all my friends they walk away
     loyalty they gladly leave behind-

     life I hold too dear
     it refuses to be smothered
     and sternly declares: Don't come near!
