Beats

Deep within my heart the darkness lurks.
A place of pain.
A place of fear.
Shattered dreams.
Tattered hopes.

Deep within my heart the darkness lurks.
A place where I feel no more.
A place where the key is gone.
A place where it is cold.
A place where despair rains.

This, yes this sad place existed.
Yes existed deep within me.
Till the day I looked at you. Something inside began to change.
Just one glance, one meeting of the eyes.
Something changed deep inside.

You saw deep inside me, down to the core.
I wanted to turn away.
I wanted to hide the despair.
I wanted to run.
Yet I couldn't run, turn, or move.
I just looked within you.

Then and there it all changed.
The darkness began to fade.
Candles began to burn.
I began to feel.
Alive in the darkened recesses of my heart.

A pulse was born.
Slowly becoming stronger.
Beating louder.
Not something I could ignore.

Walls seemingly made of stone.
Now seemed to fall like grains of sand.
Sand that could stand the test of time.
The test of a true love right before me.
Looking deep within me.
The walls fell and all I could do is what.

Now the walls are gone.
The darkness no longer rules.
I am an open book.
Open only to you.
My love is yours to have.
My soul craves to be with yours.
A new heart beats with love.
Beats with hope.
Beats with dreams.
Beats, beats, simply beats now because of you.
