Spilt on my heart
Like lemon juice stinging
His last echoed goodbyes
In my eardrums still ringing

Spilt on my heart
Awakened by pain
Fore once on my pillow
A pheasant had lain

Spilt on my heart
Loves first rejection
Spin sunrise 'til morn
Lost in reflection

Spilt on my heart
His dissent permanantely embedded
'Tis only to Lady Amherst whom
He's to be wedded

Spilt on my heart
A rapture pure and aesthetic
While to him, I must seem
So awfully bland and pathetic

Spilt on my heart
Those words he last lamented,
"No promises can I make you,
However discontented."

Spilt on my heart
Touted feathers grey and pale
"Where have you been roosting
Rock, Hill, or dale?"

Spilt on my heart
This wish I'll forever yearneth
That home to my nest
He will someday returneth
Spilt on my Heart
