My pain

I praised you as my kindred heart

And loved you as my own

I lavished care upon your woes

And never left you ‘lone

But to your heart you always looked

And kept it selfishly

You never let me in that place

Twas cold and terse to me

Did you ‘ere call me friend

Or know me as your kin

My heart the road most trampled on

Be trod upon within

I am the one that cares for you

And it shall be my sin

I’ll never learn to guard my heart

But give it once again.
