a single heart beat

A single heart beat next to mine
Reminds me that I am alive and fine.
For when time stands still,
When everything in my path turns to kill,
When the darkness spreads all around
And I find it impossible to be found,
When I jump and fall and fall
Deep below into the waters of my soul
When the sky turns grey
And the edges all begin to fray,
When my voice can only disrupt
And things are evil and corrupt.
This is when a single heart beat next to mine
Reminds me that I am alive and fine.
