Beating Hearts

Afraid not of tears
But a cold and dark heart
Baring soul brings fear
Pain paints the art

Thinking back before life
I saw you’d be there
A friend in your soul
Something deep we would share

Together we found
The world sometimes dark
Our peace was sound
In silence so stark

No answers in mind
For injustice in life
Love pure and kind
Guiding your light

Wishing to know
Just for your peace
Giving your all
But not your release

By you, I stay
‘Til death do us part
Even though it may
Tear through my heart

Only we understand
True love, pure and real
Giving all that we can
Risking wounds that won’t heal

Learned over time
What born into us
A treasure to find
Most glorious

All I can say
Dear friend of mine
Fearless tears are the way
Beating hearts always shine.
