"Cries of an Anguished Heart"

The truth I know is absent,
The love I've felt is gone.
My heart still hurts from torment,
Anguish long forgone.

When shall I ever trust again,
Perhaps my heart is torn.
Love I shall not ascertain,
To find it, I've forsworn.

I've been hurt for the final time,
So leave me to myself,
Love, to me, would be sublime,
Were it not fictitious like an elf...
