When Your Heart Beats Like a Drum ©

The heart is broken, and it won't slow down.
Do you feel it? Can you hear that sounding beat?
We have lost so much.
How can it be,
That we've found our place to hide?
Every moment, that we have been searching for,
that place to call us home again,

AND DO YOU FEEL, AND DO YOU FEEL?
EVERY BREATH THAT WE TAKE,
EVERY MOMENT THAT SEEMS TO BREAK,
AND YET EVERY DREAM WE'VE KNOWN,
SEEMS TO LONG GONE, NOW, NOW.

and we try,
we try and find that thing,
that thing we've always been.
Friends till th end I'm sure.
But who needs friends in this world?

AND THAT FEELING THAT YOU FEEL,
IS THE FEELING THAT I FEEL.
AND WITH EVERY BREATH WE TAKE,
EVERY MOMENT SLIPS AWAY,
AND EVERY SECOND THAT UNWINDS,
WE FIND OURSELVES BACK WHERE WE BEGAN.

The heart is broken now,
and it won't slow down.
Do you feel it?
Can you hear that beating sound?

AND THAT FEELING THAT YOU FEEL,
IS THE FEELING THAT I FEEL.
AND WTH EVERY BREATHE WE TAKE,
EVERY MOMENT SLIPS AWAY,
AND EVERY SECOND THAT UNWINDS,
WE FIND OURSELVES BACK WHERE WE BEGAN.

Back where we began.
Oh and do you feel? And do you feel?
Its racing now and it won't slow down, its coming for you.
I'm at your front door and I know that you're home,
I can see you there now but you won't answer the call.
I'm looking outside in, been doing it all my life.
Open that door now, let me come inside,
if not for a little while my dear.
I've searched my god damn life,
for that place to call my home.
I see it now, its been here all along.

Here with you, the beating stops.

Whoa! I love the impacting sound of the words that ring in this piece. It is definitely lyrical and bears the truth of relationships. I love the way compare the beating sound of lover's hearts to the drum.

It takes two to strum....

Excellently done.

I can almost hear The Killers singing this - or a Nu Metal band - especially when the capital chorus explodes in.
Most deffinitely a song (and poem of course).
I could hear it - feel it. Raw, passionate,
blasting out... Yeah!
