The longing in the heart,
Walked off into the being,
It scandalized like a tart,
And asked for a living.
Reason mediated between the two,
But no truce came about.
Wisdom tried too,
But war just broke out.
Out flew jealousy,
With her talons devious and sharp.
In walked a suspicion so lousy,
It killed the song and harp.
Ashes sat down to mourn,
For the heart so lovelorn.
The battle, you see, did start,
For the heart did not have a heart.
