Fragile Heart

A fragile heart like a fresh laid egg

I hold in fear of hostile fall

Like a glass window in view of a stone

I ache with pain at the demise of us

Always too proud to tell my hearts fears

Pretending I’m strong that my manhood be not doubted

But my heart is fragile still

Susceptible and vulnerable to bitter loves pill

Hold me, keep me, guard me

My breath is short, my strength may faint

Like water through a net I am not all I seem

I ought to be the man; I ought to be the stronger I

ought to be the guard

And though all these I am I am also a lover

Weak because of cupid’s hole

Mad because of the spell cast of you

And afeard more of what will be the end of our beginning

If my gentle heart you cannot well keep

And my sugar coated words in your mind I cannot find

And never ending thoughts of me in your heart I cannot see.

Permit my exit from your scared loves bode

My heart is fragile and my breath is short but my love is true and my love is pure

So though I be the man I be sometimes weak

So hold me dear, hold me close and hold me tight

For my fragile heart is the one I give to you
