ONE HEART  (II)-(newly revised, much longer, expanded revision)

 
 
       
ONE HEART          
           
BROKE SLOWLY          
           
LIKE FALLING LEAVES          
       
THE OTHER          
           
SHOOK COLDLY          
           
YET CLUNG

TO SEE      
       
JUST HOW      
       
EASY AND HARD      
       
IT CAN BE      
       
FOR SOME

ONE MORE      
       
SWEET  LAST BREATH      
       
GENTLY HOLD
