A fragile heart is easily bruised
Broken, forgotten, oft misused
A fragile heart left beating alone
Quitly in the dark
Cannot grow, shrinking dies
A kiss would make blossom
This fragile heart
If given from a gentle heart
Fragile as well
Two fragile hearts
Beat stronger
Than one heart of stone
That chooses in it's strength
That it can beat alone
Two fragile hearts
Can soar upon lazy dreams
On fairy wings
Two fragile hearts
Beat in darkness
Unafraid.
