Have A Heart (Failed Romeo Part 3)

One day
I'll probably get tired
of carrying this thing around with me.

I'm likely to say, 'Go on, take it'
to some butterfingers
who'll drop it and break it.

Or to some careless choob
who'll lose it.

Or to some callous bitch
who'll bruise it.

So let's cut a long and painful story short shall we.

For anyone who can use it
here it is,
gratis:

have a heart.

The End
