My heart's hedera [†]
Like two paragraphs
It breaks [selah]
     between you and I
It breaks [selah]
     and aches just to look at you
It breaks [selah]
     when we fight
And you leave for the night

My heart's hedera [†]
Now twain
Let no one put asunder [selah]
What God has bade
It breaks [selah]
An acceptable sacrifice
[Ampersand] we are humbled
Broken and contrite

My heart's hedera [†]
It bereaves [ampersand]
As it reads a meloncholy missive
It breaks [selah]
  and at the end of our dirge
It beats for one last time

(And like a hedera [†]
But also a pariah
For further breaking
and lamenting of this idol factory
Consult the prophet Jeremiah)
Copyright 2020.....† in punctuation is a dagger.....A hedera is suppose to be a leaf, but looks more like a heart (at least the ones I've seen)
