The Two Hearts ii
  
  They told me she lives in a ritzy penthouse
  In a sea of silver pearls and in a boat of money
  However sorrow melts the happiness from her face
  Her eyes are dull; a pale indigo
  Her frown is like a scar permanently tarnishing her skin
  And her heart, even though it’s alive, is dead
  For it does not tick to the sweet song of life
  I am going to live even though I’m dying
  I will live longer than her
  The women that is drowning in her money
  Because she is going to die for me
  She is going to give me her heart
  I don’t know why she has desired to die unrest in surgery
  And give up a life I would relish in
  I don’t want her to take that bullet for me
  I should die commodious in the house of death
  Hooked up to a heart monitor and gagging on drugs
  For I have nothing to live for
  And she has everything to take
