Analysis of Hearts Are Sworn



hearts are sworn some placed no big deal
a chance at circumstance with words that flea
one heart to mold a hand to heal
the roof is odorless
shared between a companion of fools
in light of a paradox

build the bridge of a gap in illusion frighten by a smile
I love to be loved and walk the New York Mile
early I will sweat through shaded dreams chosen in time
