Hold on my Heart My defenses fell, my eyes did swell, Tears of Joy first fell from my face, something like this had never taken place, The hold on my heart you have is tight yet gentle enough for a tender embrace, Hold on my heart, be it so firm and soft, It is something that kept me aloft, Yet our beautiful art was doomed from the start, When I let you hold my heart, Even though I did my very best, You tore my heart straight from my chest, As I lay bleeding on the floor you whisper to me, "Nevermore"
