Oh dear darling, oh dearest darling!
You make my heart pound, set my mind aflutter.

across the room, I gaze upon
You.
an elegant beauty, who I dare to
Hold.
a pretty flush in your cheeks, oh
My.
and you give me a smile, I tuck it close to my
Heart.

my Heart, my Heart,
oh how it sings for you,
how it trembles and quakes when you set it ablaze
with a giggle, a joke, a well thought out gesture-

I crave it.
I crave you.
You, who gave me light
You, who set me alight,
You, who loosed my heart to flight!

You, who broke it!

How could you toss me away like the worst of trash?
How could you shatter me like a handmade glass?
How could you do this to me?
How could you do this to us?

And I... I see you in my dreams still,
a haunting specter lingering behind
for your unfinished business
with Me.

Your business with me will never be done!
Persisting, Resisting
God, it's all the same!

Oh, You make me sick!
You still make my heart tick
Like a bomb, ready to blow!
I still love you, did you not know?

You stole my heart!
Please give it back (I needed that).
You're my work of art,
so You won't go back (I needed you)!

All mine, all mine.
Don't whine, don't whine.

My dear darling, my dearest darling!
Do I make your heart pound,
set your mind all aflutter?

Goodnight, my sweet little crown,
goodnight, goodnight!

Goodnight, I'll tuck you into the ground.
goodnight, good night.
