How can you mend a broken heart

Takotsubo

The Love Witch, 2016

The gods may throw a dice
Their minds as cold as ice
...
The winner takes it all
The loser has to fall
It's simple and it's plain
Why should I complain
...
The judges will decide
The likes of me abide
Spectators of the show
Always staying low
The game is on again
A lover or a friend
A big thing or a small
The winner takes it all
...
I apologize
If it makes you feel bad
Seeing me so tense
No self-confidence
But you see
The winner takes it all
...
And the loser has to fall

Não me sacudam que estou cheia de lágrimas

"...because women are suffering machines."

Picasso

Weeping Woman, Pablo Picasso, 1937

O, let me forever weep:
My eyes no more shall welcome sleep.
I'll hide me from the sight of day,
And sigh my soul away
...


Henry Purcell
The Fairy Queen, Z.629 (1692)
O let me weep (The Plaint)

Was I a good show?
