If I hand you
My delicate heart
Will you promise me
You wont allow it to fall apart?

For my heart, you see
Is easily broken
It has been bruised, betrayed
And once stolen

My once loving heart
Lost it’s knowledge of trust
It has endured many tortures
Caused by careless lust

So can you promise
To protect my delicate heart?
And to hold it with great care
So there isn’t a chance for it to fall apart.
