Abandon me, heart

Oh heart!

Why dost thou make pain so fierce, As fiery wind across red dirt of desert's plain. Dost thou have no fear of breaking?

 

Why so brave, thou heart mine, that risks all thy pain, all thy love? Will thou join me instead in solitude, may thou not steal away as my bane?

Or as the canine lets holler his mighty, great bark, will thou leave my persuasions in vain?

 

So decidith, dost thou to abandon me here, like the sun leaves the moon with all poise?

Or will thou make amends to me in pity, and allow me to make my own choice?

 

So heart, here's adeu, for thy has chosen me not, and thou adores whomever thy might.

And here I will stay, waiting for thy still, and heartbreak will rage through the night.
