First Line: No broken hearts for me, I bragged
Last Line: "you flaunt upon your sleeve!"
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


No broken hearts for me, I bragged,
I'll purchase right today
A frilly make-believe one
To wear upon display...
Ah, me! it was entrancing
That heart-made-to-deceive:
Almost too slight and airy,
Yet so gay upon my sleeve!...

But my hidden heart is aching
In a strange foreboding way --
Does it really fear, I wonder,
That I'll keep it hid away?
Will it never stop insisting
(What nonsense to conceive!),
"He loves the mask of frippery
You flaunt upon your sleeve!"
