Be not ungentle with my heart
For it is frail and fragile and flimsy
Oh you who cast glances
And fish for smiles, please
Be not ungentle with my heart
It has seen one too many cracks
In its glassy, brittle surface
It could shatter
At the slightest smirk
So please, you who charm
And flirt and laugh
Be not ungentle with my heart.
