still thy beating heart

who so desires a heart like mine?
bleeding and feeding, pouring like wine.
flowing like a torrent and pounding like thunder,
screaming and grasping, pulling you asunder.

who so desires a heart that doesn't beat?
a lump of flesh, useless meat.
ravaged and pillaged,
smoking like a little village.

whats shines through my heart like a ray of light?
burning and scarring, like a star in the night.
could that beam of light be hope?
a second chance, another try, a way to cope.

could that ray of light come from you?
i think it could, and if you only knew,
the things i say, the things i do, the things i think,
then you would know my heart will not sink.

who so desires a heart like mine?
with your ray of hope to make it shine.
to bring warmth and joy, to bring a smile.
to see your smile i would walk many a mile.

why should my heart not beat still?
to lay in my chest like a tiger's kill.
should my heart not sing and praise?
if only my heart could get through the maze...

that is you.
