TAKE IT TO THE HEART

 

Now that my days are troubled

Where from here do I alone go?

In this dilemma, I wish I could sail above

Before poverty, I crave for decorum as one fold

Here I am lone, nowhere known to go

I wish without wings, I could fly like a beautiful dove

Now my fate is beclouded by clumsy smoke

And before dark, I wish could by love cope

The truth, nevertheless I need to be told

If I told you I never mourned you, it was a joke

Before I met you at first

Thought your chemistry was for my joy decorous

Never knew you overnight turned a disease without cure

Later, you became the devil so nefarious

At last, you rendered my soul injurious

Or do you have an iota of defence?

Even now that you had become my archenemy

By day, you play my best friend in pretence
