You were right, of course, my heart was broken.

I gathered too many dreams in one ungrateful form.

Of course, you were right, my pains must be outspoken,

I should have drowned you in a mordant storm.

 

Of course, my verse will boost your greedy ego,

You wished to be my muse for so damn long.

So here it goes – I’m still confused about your veto,

We’re good together, why did it go so wrong?

 

Of course, I cried. You know I am secretly romantic,

I could have written life for you and give you mine,

And you would praise me, being selfishly ecstatic,

The problem is, your worth is ending with this line.
