Love Like Broken Glass

Antique love, enshrined, protected
From the dust of history
Paper flowers of devotion
Caged in bright sterility
Time is now past for regret
Time to forgive but never forget

No warmth, no pain, no fire, it's only Love like broken glass
No passion, no desire, it's only Love like broken glass, Love like broken glass

Held in stasis, all unchanging
Touched by none, admired by all
Circumstance has changed the balance
Hold your breath await the fall
Time is now past for regret
Time to forgive but never forget

Now the prison smashed and broken
Petals lie in diamond shards
In the needle-sharp reminders
Lies a broken, bleeding heart
Time is now past for regret
Time to forgive but never forget
