It’s fragile.
You shouldn’t drop something that can easily be broken.
The glass heart sits on the empty shelve,
Waiting.
And as time goes by the shine it once possessed,
Was gone.
With dust covering it,
it waits.
Waits for the one soul who’ll wipe away the dust,
And bring back the shine.
So the fragile glass heart,
On that empty shelve,
Waits for its pair.
Time flies and the heart is still waiting.
Dust continues to spread,
Hope begins to fall,
And loneliness consumes that once beautiful,
Fragile Glass Heart.
It’s sad how something once so admired can be so alone.
But that well known phrase,
“One mans trash, is another man's treasure.”
Shows to be true.
The hearts waiting comes to a stop,
When one other lonely soul ventures into the unknown.
He notices the Fragile Glass Heart,
and with the heart in hand he journeys home.
He cleans the dust,
Places it on a new shelve,
With other hearts.
And that Lonely Fragile Glass Heart,
Doesn’t feel so alone.

So the fragile glass heart,
On that empty shelve,
Waits for its pair.
Time flies and the heart is still waiting.
Dust continues to spread,

And loneliness consumes that once beautiful,
Fragile Glass Heart.
It’s sad how something once so admired can be so alone.

Places it on a new shelve,
With other hearts.
And that Lonely Fragile Glass Heart,
Doesn’t feel so alone.
