This is a reworking of an old poem of mine
__________________________________
I'm looking for a human heart,
A brand-new one, por favor,
Mine's quite cold and broken,
I don't want it anymore.
It served a purpose for a while,
And it beat with rhythm, sure ...
But its seams are old and ragged,
Since I heard "goodbye" from her.
I'll only need a modest one,
I don't plan to use it much,
It won't be tasked with loving,
Just pumping blood and such.
I won't need help exchanging
The old one, that's no doubt,
There's no surgery required -
As she already ... cut it out.
