Henrich Heine can't could not forget he had had you
passion lust or poison love ran hot within his veins
thoughts of a dear woman sweet to hold he reviews
he is haunted he once possessed you stews his brains
possessed your body your soul his every thought holds
obsessed still wants her body that body young and true
but he thinks they can bury your soul love he has soul
enough for two he says I'll cut my own soul in pieces...
breathe half my own soul into her healthy young body
then hug her because they must be one soul one body
the male lover loves his own self soul more than
her unloved younger soul meaning her young body
is all desired not her mind her personality not her
soul he wants her young body as home for his soul...
