I carry your heart with me
For forever and never
And everything in between
My heart beats out a song
And a rhythmical pattern
Even I have never seen;
Like the keys of a computer
I let it tap searing, soothing words
That burn and bruise against my chest
Letters that spell you and me
And pay no attention to the rest.
I can read the heart words in the mirror
Backwards and forwards, pink-
Purple and impossible to hide
I feel them burn and smile
Hoping that maybe you see them,
Because I only wear them on the inside.
