There is something there.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

Something that flutters with each breath

Beat. Flutter. Beat

And remains vulnerable through it all.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

It is there through heartbreak and celebration,

Beat. Flutter. Beat

It is there through tears and lies.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

It is something I could not bring myself to break.

Beat. Flutter. Beat.

Even though everything else is dead,

Beat. Pause. Beat.

It remains constant.

Beat. Flutter. Beat.

Music for the deaf.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

A reminder.

Beat. Flutter. Beat.

A drug of sorts.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

A rythm for life to move on.

Beat. Flutter. Beat.

As though it had not nearly stopped.

Beat. Pause. Beat.

As though it were to always carry on.
