I was in love with you

Everyone in our worlds knew it

My faithful affection was true

Ever since you abandoned me

I’ve been trapped in my own prison

Each night I make a wailing plea

I have been unable to repair

This shattered lifeless heart

Nor pull myself from this unbearable despair

Without you I cannot exist

For uncovered reasons

I have slit my wrist

Do not fear

I’ve written you a poem to remember me by

Maybe now you’ll shed a tear

This is not that verse

But if I am dead

Things cannot be worse

Ponder this last ballad

Now that I am gone

I have become invalid
