In his hand he holds a heart A heart that was once her own It has no wings to fly away To where the PrttyBrd has flown Since it could not follow It awaited the return To dwell in the empty cavern Of a love that will ever burn Ne'er to be filled with purpose As the cavern is sewn in steel The fire will char the surface Where there is nothing left to feel She could not bear the weight Upon her wings so frail A heart so full of love Returned to no avail For it had beaten just for her Though she never realized She had thought she set him free But epitomized his demise

Gossamer Wings
In his hand he holds a heart A heart that was once her own It has no wings to fly away To where the PrttyBrd has flown Since it could not follow It awaited the return To dwell in the empty cavern Of a love that will ever burn Ne'er to be filled with purpose As the cavern is sewn in steel The fire will char the surface Where there is nothing left to feel She could not bear the weight Upon her wings so frail A heart so full of love Returned to no avail For it had beaten just for her Though she never realized She had thought she set him free But epitomized his demise
