Who would take a broken heart?

Ugly and slower than some

Who would want a silent talker?

Who would want second-hand love?

No lady needs a tattered dress

                                           

From a bombed charity shop

                                           

No one hopes first for a second-try

                                  

Or a love proved to drop.

                                   

I can offer a collage of love

To somebody someday 

                                 

But I couldn't give an accurate

Self-portrait 

                                         

I can give you what I gave her

                                        

Though I value it a little less

                                            

If I could give you even a sad smile

                                    

I confess I’d feel blessed

                                    

Who would take a broken heart?

                                       

Ugly and slower than some

                                       

Who would want a silent talker?

                                        

Who would want second-hand love?

There’s a sale on for all of me

No, don’t all rush at once

I’ll make you take a second look

Make sure I’m chosen.

There are elephants in my mind 

They’re spectacular, but they’re hers

My heads filled with stamping 

It’s really nearly burst

Who would want 4 punctured tyres

A car keyed green to white

Who would want a broken windscreen

And no head-lights.

Who would take a broken heart?

                                       

Ugly and slower than some

                                       

Who would want a silent talker?

                                        

Who would want second-hand love?
