CLARE KEMBLE
Once love, now turned to scorn
Once known, now a stranger be
Once a whole heart, now torn
Once lasting love, now loveless me
For loved once was I,
Now that love has turned to hate
For better happiness was nye,
And I could no longer wait.
My whole heart I gave to you
Part of my heart you have still
but love and need me, you could not do
And my unconditional love did you kill.
I do not hate you, it would be impossible
But you say you hate me and always will
