"A Very Short Song" by Dorothy Parker

A Very Short Song
by Dorothy Parker

Once, when I was young and true,
Someone left me sad-
Broke my brittle heart in two;
And that is very bad.

Love is for unlucky folk,
Love is but a curse.
Once there was a heart I broke;
And that, I think, is worse.

  1. I love the last part best:
    "Once there was a heart I broke;
    And that, I think, is worse."
