A Beating Heart

Boob-ba-boom Boom-ba-boom
The heart beats as a bird flies
Or a butterfly flaps its wings
It is a constant beat
Faster of slower as love draws near
Its only enemies
The fear within
And the pain of a broken heart
A broken wing can stop flight
A broken heart can stop life
Waiting for someone to tend the broken wing
Frozen in a painful moment
Waiting for the wound to heal
The heart beats
The bird flies
Wounds heal
