The bitterness played Around her lips Oh it wasn't that she didn't Have 44 pieces of god hidden in her chest And innumerable scattered diamonds Lying on her breasts But it is just that she really couldn't Have that one man Over there And for that Her heart Couldn't rest And her mouth Showed that bitterness.
Irwin R. Shaw - April 11th 1981
The bitterness played
Around her lips
Oh it wasn't that she didn't
Have 44 pieces of god hidden in her chest
And innumerable scattered diamonds
Lying on her breasts
But it is just that she really couldn't
Have that one man
Over there
And for that
Her heart
Couldn't rest
And her mouth
Showed that bitterness.
