trepidacious am I, as all I know falls apart
crystal carapace, slivered silvery
effaced by a blaze deep in my heart
Ashamed I am, of this bewitchery
simply selfish my mind screams
I call on him wantonly
my lover drawn from dreams

no longer frightened of love's foolishness
I bade my heart grow strong
Casting spells of happiness
denied of me for so long

unknown worlds of joy, love's light
too scared I was to know
what kept me safe all my life
My heart
Now deals my final blow
