The heart wants what it wants,
Yet it doesn't get it always.
It just wants what it wants,
It tries to get it by all ways.
Oh my herz, don't reign my actions in such a way,
For you know that I can't betray.
I would please you before any soul I happen to know,
But you want to chase a strange nuo.
Why did you have to look upon her,
Why did you even take a glimpse.
Did you see the great Maria Theresa in her,
Or was she wearing skimps.
Why did you have to know her, why never became a stranger?
Why did you break your bounds and put me into this danger!
Whenever you saw her you made a throb,
When you couldn't see her you became slob.
Why did you shape your world in my mind?
Why did you create this unbreakable bind?
Your words, on me have set such a scent,
The breath of which is hard to relent.
Why did you make your world as mine!
It has sculpt a fracture in my spine.
Your ruinous love has blinded my sight,
You always have won this noble fight.
You have made me like yourself, a greedy soul.
Your desires, in my chest have dug a deep hole.
I can't breathe for your thoughts breathe in me,
I can't think for she breeds in me.
You didn't do good, you simply went for the shine.
It is now that you realise that the jewel wasn't fine.
Had you listened to me, you wouldn't have to surrender,
Now all you can, is to render.
Do not kneel for her this way,
As even I have to bow,
The heart wants what it wants,
But it never faces the cow.
