Fragile Heart

How mortal is a heart?
with no means to jump start
find out how fragile the beat
as the cold overcomes the heat

Touched by cold angry metal
it contrasted with unsuspecting loving warmth
shredding the life within...
and the lives all around

Cold hours overcome summer's breath
as the waiting continues...
no news yet.

Then as sudden as a wind
the presence was gone
vanished, taken
everything all wrong.

How easy it was
for a heart to bleed away
How strong the body was
but it's protection gave way

That's all it took
that's all it takes
A precious heart
just one click

Tears now flow in place of blood
but they can't replace
as we stand there in the mud

A great big heart
now rests in its grave
because I wasn't there
your heart I could not save.

Now my heart is broken
you broke it through and through
that night you left me hoping
I'd once again see you

How do you expect
for mine to endure this pain?
while you just let yours die in vain

it's shattered into a million
but it barely beats for one
how could this have happened?
I just can't believe you're gone.

I would have gladly taken your place
If it meant I could erase
the painful loneliness inside
because you're no longer...
by my side.
