The Anniversary of Heartbreak

Why must I lay here barren and wasted What beauty don’t you see in my being? You’re rejecting the fruit you have tasted On deaf ears fall the cries I am pleading You say your attraction to me is deep, For you there will never be another So why does my poor heart every night weep Because you refuse to be my lover; How can I make you understand clearly Has this love become stale and bittersweet? As I let my blood pour out it’s merely A hollow attempt ending in defeat How cruel is the heart armored in malice Just like a bitter end; cold and callous
