My Heart Is No Longer Mine
My Heart Is No Longer Mine
By Rick Rucker
I used to think my Heart was mine,
I used to hide it away, like fine wine,
Bring it out, to show a friend,
To no particular end,
I left the cellar where it stayed,
Unlocked, and She did raid,
The sanctum, now empty, which was full,
I feel Her presence, like a pull,
A Master Thief, she stole that day,
My ability to Love, then get away!
Unscathed, I would run, as the wind,
My words of Love, I would rescind,
Now that she violated my castle keep,
Since I let Her, into my Heart, creep,
I will never be the same,
I have even offered Her my name,
I might as well concede defeat,
She has won a victory, complete!
Now She has Dominion over every part,
All it took was to capture my Heart,
A victorious campaign,
To fight on, would be in vain!
A Lady, so very handsome,
I will gladly pay Her ransom!
I will gladly play,
The part of Her lowly serf, every day!
