I've been having chest pains lately.
Maybe it's just because I think of you
and go to bed alone with the dog on the floor;
maybe my heart is broken in two
and I'm not smart enough to tell no more.

Maybe it's stress, or sad songs
that creep into my mind at night
to remind me of a past far gone;
bad dreams come just for spite
and dance upon my chest till dawn.

I am educated but still sore-
each time you leave, I hurt more.
Sitting here thinking of you...
rip-moans like paper tore-
maybe my heart really is in two.

I can relate... It is not about being uneducated or not being smart... Take care.

I've read this several times.. keep coming back to it, thinking I'll leave a few words, but everytime I have started, it sounds wrong..
so... I'll just say I've been here and that I returned.
