Get Low So Low

I gave my love, my heart my soul, I gave her babes, our greatest goal; She took my heart, my eyes, my wish, And spat my love to circling fish I lost my mind, my girls, my home, She’d met a new man, pockets deep, Now I felt like an unknown poem, Anonymous verse, in stinking heap But now I’m old, with stooping gait, Soon the cosmos’ll know my fate; But to love as I did and then be thrown? Such sweet misery never to own.
