Beat.

His name is not important.

Neither is his face.

Only his heart,

And where it was misplaced.

I found it barely beating,

Somewhere near the gutter.

It had been kicked, trampled, and stepped on,

Obviously by his past lover.

So I simply held his close,

And easily gave him mine.

 

Then he did something he hadn't in a while.

Without him, his heart smiled.

It ignited a fire inside my me.

I wanted to curl up and hide.

Hide the happiness inside.

And past the monuments, and hills my pride shined.

 

With a slight slump and pulse.

I felt it beat.
