Day 74

Beneath my skin,
Beneath this flesh and bone,
Lie a mass of red muscle,
Beating rapidly,
Pumping blood through my veins.

This thing we call a heart,
It beats all day long,
With each one, it calls your name,
Yearning to be pulled closer,
So close, you can feel its power.

Inside your chest,
Through your rib cage,
Lies you own burning mass,
Beating in sync with mine,
Calling my name from afar.

Let's cure this heart's ache,
This hurt that builds each day apart,
Causing the beats to slow.
Come to me now, lay on top of me,
Heart to heart and let the world fade away.
