Tender hearts breed tender minds

Sensitive words better left unsaid

O tender heart why do you hurt so?

Tender mind why do you cry?

Why do you cry for me?

It makes me so sad to see

A mind and heart in such a conundrum

Love hates us

But love makes us

Cry

Die

Pass a loved one by

Births us

Nurtures us

And fulfills our fantasies

Tender heart don’t die on me

Young girl don’t cry for me

I’ll make it through the night

Through this trying life

Life of a soul through the blistering cold

Tender minds

Tender hearts

Don’t cry for me

I’ll make it through the night
