Fragile as a new-born,
Translucent as a past,
Touch me and I'll shatter,
I wasn't meant to last.
Hold me, I'll be broken,
Leave me, I will fade,
Love me, live me, I will die,
Ignore me where I'm laid.
Forgotten as a memory,
Alone inside a crook,
Deep inside an angry mind,
I trembled and I shook.
Tear drops will scold me,
I burn just as I freeze,
I am a thousand broken locks,
I need a thousand keys.
Sweet as summer's Albion,
Bitter winter's blue,
I'll stay a soul in soulless times,
Awaiting only you.
