Please… Poem by Jim Milks

Please take my heart away from me
For I have no use for it any more
Take it away and, set me free
Release my pain and let me soar

Hear me scream, oh God hear my plea
Please take my heart away from me
Its weight I can no longer bear
Take it from me, show me that you care

You and I may disagree, but
It can no longer bear the pain
Please take my heart away from me
What was once love, is now my bane

Please, lock it away for all time
Lock it away, and throw away the key
My heart is for ever yours, and not mine
Please take my heart away from me
