Fragile
Fragile is the life we live
Under broken skies
Fragile is the air we breathe
That stings and burns our eyes
Fragile as the day's new sun ~
Will it cease to rise?
Deferred
Deferred like a wisher's dream
When he fails to see it through
Deferred as a child left in the storm
Crying desperately under the moon
Deferred as the life of one young girl ~
Must he marry her so soon?
