Hearts Beating

It’s always the same

Always drifting apart

A twist of the knife

Another broken heart

I know it’s not true

When you tell me so

Ever heard of passion

Believe

I don’t want you as my shadow

I can’t walk a path so narrow

Still my head as boredom screams –

As boredom screams no more wasting

time my sweetest sorrow dies

Empathise in your confusion

How can minds meet no hearts beating

Let your heart beat show me you’re alive

Twist what I say

And make it real

Bend what you hear

And make it die

Feel, don’t think

Break, don’t bend

You’ll never understand

You don’t listen

Set your sights

But never go there

You don’t dare hope

Because that’s a place where -

dreams can live

and dreams can nourish

and just for a minute

hear hearts beating.
