Take it with you

I wish my heart didn't belong to anyone

that it just stayed inside my chest

beat its way to life but nothing more or less

It would be cradled in sweet nothingness

But I keep sending parts of it away

with every stranger I encounter

every smile I receive

It doesn't know the difference

between illusion and truth

It wants to escape its cold prison

whenever someone mixes up its rhythm

I wish my heart didn't belong to anyone else but me

because I need to hear its beat

more than anyone else
