Once upon a weary heart Starts a life of teary dreams Steams a moist of endless hope Mope as snail caught a bunce Wail in self-pity, howl with sorrow A scramble heart creeps to ramble Among the lonely streets of “Desire” He prowls aimlessly with no avail Discriminated by the passion of love He shoved his way into ones heart But with no sympathy by Love His heart was crushed in immerse grieve To love… he loved no more And as the days grow by the years Sitting on his rocking chair, he sat Ready to die, a lonely old man
