A Soul.
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.

Empty Heart
An empty heart, No joy from victory, No warmth from success. Bereft of feeling, Emotions numbed. Difficult to savour the moment, Knowing the next challenge will be bigger. Empty heart, Empty soul.

Love
One specialized knife to stab the heart. One special tool to mend it when it's hard. One word to describe all our pain. One word to take it all away again. One thing to finish us all off.

A Life To Love

I shall be telling this with a sigh. I haven't slept in a week. Life for me ain't been no crystal stair. What happens to a heart deferred. Looks like nothing's gonna change.

All the thoughts you've never seen, Are ones you're always thinking. The water's wide, the water's deep, O' why aren't you sinking. Feel the path of opportune, O' which road are you giving.
