A Lost Love

A love that I once had
A love all-consuming
Which I believed would live forever
Perished in the rough ocean of time.

For my lover came to love another
And my joyful world came to an end,
And I cried alone in the dark
Like a little bird with broken wings.

I know there is no hope for me
And I patiently wait for poisoned death
To give me sweet release from pain.
Failing that, I'll go and take a truly enormous dump.

... a joke.

I am puzzled by your using a quote from some unknown trainer of wrestlers odd. How is THAT poetic? I can think of few things less poetic than either wrestling or football, the latter being a nasty game played by common thugs.

Best wishes from

...wiser.

Surely the point of a joke is that it should be comprehensible?

Now all is clear.

I am touched that you used the English spelling, "arse" instead of the American word, "ass". It's little things like that which mend the "special friendship" after your genius president has put the world in danger by ordering the murder of an Iranian general by a fearless and gallant drone operator. I fear that will not end well.
