I Tried

5 1 2
                                    

I tried to give my heart
Yet she had no place for it
But I had ripped it out already
And found I could not replace it

I tried to twist and turn
But it was all in vain
Despite my effort it would not fit
Though I tried again and again

So my love, I'll keep it here
In a chest upon my shelf
It will sit and wait for you
As you clean your cluttered house
