Gave you all the love
in my heart
because you said
you'd be mine

You didn't keep your word

Now my empty heart
is under the hammer
waiting for the highest bidder

II

I toss away
a tasty, much-used
tissue...

If only this
much-abused heart
could be tossed away
like that

III

You said love never ends---
Wrong!
Love too runs out
just as the Pole Star
will be dislodged one day
leaving only endless void,
yes, only the void
is inexhaustible.
