Why must the heart
Beat me so
This soft desirable criminal,
Sentenced to
Solitary confinement
In quivering quiet refinement,
You alone ravish
This mending heart,
And safe behind bars
Of chess bone jail,
Barred from your love
So I won’t tell,
Of your sentencing
This first degree hell,
Your lies of knives
No more parole my pain,
Lies that cut beneath the low
Leaving blood heart stains,
Why must you beat me so
Oh heart of mine,
You soft criminal
