"Rhapsody on a Theme of Paolo Nutini"

by Jeph Johnson

 

I'm overjoyed
You denied
My last request
To lay down beside me.
I'm not annoyed.
Nothing has died.
There's no distress
Around me or inside me

 

She was recieved

And indeed cherished.
Her first request
Was not wasted at all.
No one's deceived.
No love has perished.
It's for the best,
Which you weren't after all.
