Epitaph For My Heart

“Caution: to prevent electric shock do not remove cover. No user-serviceable parts insde Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.” 

Let this be the epitaph for my heart, Cupid put too much poison in the dart.

This is the epitaph for my heart because it’s gone, gone gone and life goes on and on anon, and death goes on, world without end and you’re not my friend.

Who will mourn the passing of my heart?

Will its little droppings climb the pop chart.

Who’ll take its ashes and, singing, fling them from the top of the Brill Building?

And life goes on, and dawn, and dawn and death goes on, world without end and you’re not my friend.
