Can anyone help me place a fragment of poetry, please?

Something like

"Why should my heart have been under her heel,
Where a heart had no reason to be?"

It's a man talking about how a woman he has given his heart to has trampled it, but he doesn't blame her. I can half-remember the poem, but not who it's by or what it's called. I can't find it using google. Can anyone help me, please?

2. I am gonna be a tad smug here....

and bet that no one from the freeper site would have known this - is that bad of me, am I a bit too condescending about how brilliant we are and how dim they are? Oh well, so be it.

3. Don't be cruel, freepers have lots of poetry.

For instance:

Here I sit, cheeks a-flexin'
pushin' out another Texan

and

Here I sit, broken-hearted
Came to shit but only farted.
Then one day I took a chance,
Tried to fart and shit my pants

Masterpieces all...
