To my heart,

Stop your fast-paced beat

it was only a touch,

the slightest of a brush...

yet, you continue to dance.

I command you, Heart!

Cease this idiotic display

for I am not in the mood

to play a lover's game.

I would stop you myself

if I held a knife.

I would drive it through my breast

undeterred, right through my chest.

But...

He holds my arms...

so sweetly, carefully, tenderly....

he holds my arms against him.

Making you, O Heart, beat abnormaly.

How I hate you, you could take me secret away.

Make him leave, when I would have to stay.

Don't you understand, Master Heart...

that a Knight cannot love a Lady?

Forbidden as this hug is....

between us two as friends, only friends,

that my Father casts his eyes in a glare...

a hateful stare as we part from our embrace.

So still my heart...

for I do love him so...

So still O Heart...

for I would die if he goes.
