Love went to a bar,
bought a liquor; and drank it all
Love bought a hunting knife
and staggered home like a drunk
The naked woman lay on his bed awaiting his return
love entered his room; angered and bittered
He took the hunting knife and stabbed the woman on the chest
Love stared at the woman, without any knowledge of whom she is
Love staggered out of the room oblivious to what he has done

The naked woman looked at her bleeding heart and whispered to herself
love killed me
love stole my heart
