I could feel my heart beat throughout my body
I could feel it weaken each time
I almost laugh my heart felt so strong yet my life was trickling away
My wrist were slit I was sitting in the tub
My vision started to blurr
I heard a buzzing in my ear
The next thing I knew she
Burst threw the bathroom door
I couldn't make out the words
She was saying
Everything hurt she craddled me against her chest
I was starting to black out but I knew I needed to stay awake
I needed to keep my heart beating for her
I reached my hand to her cheek an caressed it I told her it would be OK This heart only beat for her she smiled slightly
Men in blue uniforms came in and I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer
That was years ago
Now me and her have two beautiful little boys
Both of us are moms
My heart still only beats for her
I catch her looking at my wrists sometimes I still her I'm sorry and that I wish I had never done it
Then I say I'm glad I keep my heart beating your the reason it still beats
