Sorrow has rules dictating that
you've been upset with yourself for a long time
so sit down with yourself and complain
and pray and ask about yourself
From time to time check up on
your heart in case it's in trouble1
Remove people who betrayed you from it
They're no longer needed
no longer needed
And don't cling to the newcomers
or even love people who left
And name all those who bother you
and make up with them until you're both satisfied
I am very skeptical about the rest
Now you'll filter and pick
Separating the people you love
from the ones you'll leave
Don't be superficial about picking people
Look closely inside them to see clearly
That's because a person who wounds
sometimes plays the role of the wounded
Open a wide parentheses
for those you'll forget and those you'll sell
and those you'll formally bid farewell
hopefully you won't close the parentheses
