This Stupid Heart

(The disappoinment of a Sugar-Dad) You said you’re shy but just tried the guts As you need some aid for this and that. If I should give in don’t think you’re smart, But because you’re dear to this stupid heart. The melodramas and pity claims; I have the feel for those lousy schemes. I’ve known the motives in your every plea Because I was not born just yesterday. You think am dumb but I’m not a fool; Am not supposed to play this role. The humiliation of doing so; I just wonder if you can stand to it too. I hear the laughter and the prejudice Of my trying hard that you’d be pleased. I am not apt for some return, If you can’t thank at least don’t scorn. The silent corner that I am staying in Have known the pain I kept within. I broke its silence with my big deep sigh When I remember your blatant lies. Though I have doubts if you’ll ever cry To hear me gone or see me die. But when love is real; though the soul is frail, This stupid heart still wishes you well.

The one told the other how his old foreigner fiance would cry when she would threaten of leaving him if the latter would not provide her what she needed. My goodness.....
