Oh, my beating heart, be still <br />Such raptures you have known <br />In the past your mind has flown <br />Until you took your pill. <br /> <br />Oh, Love, do please hasten away <br />To those who appreciate you. <br />None other has a wit so true - <br />I urge thee, run and be gay. <br /> <br />The sweetness of your smile, <br />Has got a bitter sting. <br />And when with thoughts of you I sing, <br />I think back quite a while. <br /> <br />Once I was quite fast entrapped <br />Full in thy bosom fair <br />Now plead I, please give me air! <br />I'll avoid this course unmapped. <br /> <br />Requiescat en paz, amour <br />I have no use for you. <br />Go cause another to turn blue <br />I'll soon even up the score. <br /> <br />February 2007 Idaho<br /><br />Anemone Flynn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/bitter-valentine/
