Mother warned, lest I serve myself a ruthless course To each, only one is bestowed, in all its rarity For it, build Towers of stone devoid of frailty With coats and cloaks knitted of seams impervious Rid it of stark embrace, of the harshness of Age And in this perfect solitude will its solace still yet lay So shall thee in perfect peace remain,until that day When this little gem will cease to be held hostage Fluttered away by the fairness of coy chairty And drenched in the hollow waters of flattery Oh this tender heart of mine,in all these thrills did'st it find delight Suddenly it tasted pain and in misery it did wallow But fought in futility to rise, and thence-forth did it stay so Mother warned, yet my new dwelling is found in irredeemable plight
...borne of a broken heart... an agonized soul....
