She stands elicited with fear
She holds a heart in her hands
So fragile, so loving
It's glorious
It's the most delicate thing she will ever hold.
He trusted her with it.
He handed it to her and said
/keep it safe/
So she did
She held her own heart in her left hand
And with her right
She took his heart and put it where hers used to be
He had his hands out for hers
But she was still holding onto it.
Holding on like you would
In the middle of a hurricane.
Holding on like death was at your door
And you were trying to sneak out the back
Holding on because
She was frightened
But she looked in those eyes
A sky full of blue
Full of hope and something she didn't know
And she held out her heart
But she was still frightened, still scared.
Afraid, afraid he'd throw it...
But,
He didn't.
He took it as careful as possible and put it where his used to be.
They had one another's hearts.
And for once,
Neither one of them were shattered.
