Invalid
I was in love with you
Everyone in our worlds knew it
My faithful affection was true
Ever since you abandoned me
I’ve been trapped in my own prison
Each night I make a wailing plea
I have been unable to repair
This shattered lifeless heart
Nor pull myself from this unbearable despair
Without you I cannot exist
For uncovered reasons
I have slit my wrist
Do not fear
I’ve written you a poem to remember me by
Maybe now you’ll shed a tear
This is not that verse
But if I am dead
Things cannot be worse
Ponder this last ballad
Now that I am gone
I have become invalid
