...of broken bones and broken hearts

i do not know of what i speak
or of what i write
sometimes i think broken bones are more dire
yet today broken hearts are dear
tell me what does the wise one say
what pleads the thief by the courthouse steps
what sighs the widow by the tax collector's post
what begs the miser by heaven's gate
but despite not knowing
i still feel
what sweet rapture when love fails.
