Heartbeats

Heartbeats! The way my heart thrums beneath my skin, Running down the streets, Desperate for a win; A promise that it's possible To survive the darkness and live in glory! Heartbeats! The way my heart flutters At the sight of you during our desperate meets, Needing us to be behind closed shutters. A promise for love and heat To push through the pain and heartbreak... Heartbeats! The way she looks at me when she smiles, The way he grasps at my hands, The way they laugh. Heartbeats! The way I sway to the music As if it was a sickness which greets Me at my deathbed.
