He buried her without a heart,
and gathered a service for one.
He stood and cried as he watched his love
rot into the ground.

He held her heart in his hands,
disguised as a goodbye note.
He read out loud the things she said
and crumbled when she spoke.

It was you I wanted and only you
and I knew we could never be.
If I can't have your heart I will take my own
and leave it for you to keep.

He knelt beside the love of his life
and yearned to make things right.
So he took her heart and carried it back
to the home occupied by his wife.
