A Crazy Heart It Is Poem by John Florio

It's a crazy heart you see —
it madly loves you, else nothing;
But when you come before me,
it's scared of saying anything.

Alas! How so much I explain to it,
How so much I draw it back;
It's naive, doesn't understand a bit,
All nights, it keeps me awake.

It always agonizes me, but why,
you don't have idea of this.
I cannot divert it how hard I try,
what a crazy my heart it is!

Like this way, how long will go on,
no more excuses will be better;
I want you to understand this soon,
before its dreams start to shatter.
