In fonder times,
What was it
That willed me wired
To outfit
A swift-decline
Composite?
(I've set it down. Forgot it.)
softly say
y y y y y
don't leave me
y y y y y
It's no surprise
What's under
The scattered lines
We wander.
My foolish heart
Can't take it
My DAMAGED HEART
CAN'T take it
softly say
y y y y y
don't leave me
y y y y y
y y y y y
