The breaking of a heart.

we say we're not a couple,

Of throwing the first stone.
Your love had never ceased,
Though errors were repeated.

When all my purpose lost,

Acorn Pixie was well hidden at first
But then she jumped when something burst.
She shrieked a bit and jumped once too.
Something pixies never ought to do.

It was an up and down night
We could hear them running up and down
The stairs outside our bedroom door
