Song of the Poet
---------------------
It's high time you knew this tale:
The girl who'd many hearts impale -
just a glance and feelings stirred -
But was her pen that took its toll.
For, tendency to compare,
was always, ever there,
from carefully written words
to writing carefree souls.
Oh, the souls that she wrote!
Some smitten, some smote,
spiralling down like wounded birds:
halves that aspire to wholes.
