My Heart's Hedera
My heart's hedera [†]
Like two paragraphs
It breaks [selah]
between you and I
It breaks [selah]
and aches just to look at you
It breaks [selah]
when we fight
And you leave for the night
My heart's hedera [†]
Now twain
Let no one put asunder [selah]
What God has bade
It breaks [selah]
An acceptable sacrifice
[Ampersand] we are humbled, broken and contrite
My heart's hedera [†]
It bereaves [ampersand]
As it reads a melancholy missive
It breaks [selah]
and at the end of our dirge
It beats for one last time, then my soul will merge
(And like a hedera [†]
For further breaking and lamenting of this idol factory
(which is also a pariah)
Consult the prophet Jeremiah)
