Far away across the ocean
Sat a man in emotion
Thinking about his life
With his heart cut off by a knife

His life had become abject
In his mind still a vision
Never could he envision
Such a tragedy in his life

Now fading away in his sorrows
Never to return again
Broken in pain
Of his harsh destiny

Few words left for him to say
Pretending each day
To still feel the same
Living in pain
