I laid my head on your chest                  
I listened to your heartbeat
So precious,a rhythm I want to sink in

I close my jaded grey eyes
And listened again
But carefully
Then I realized                        
Whats keeping me alive
Isnt my heartbeat
As mine is decayed
Dark

My heartbeat
Meaningless
Serves me no purpose
As I am deranged and astray.

But your heartbeat
Reminds me why im alive        
Keeps me going
Even during the darkest nights

Tonight I tried it again ,to end it all
Then I remembered the song your heart sang to my dark soul
Then I remembered my purpose
You...
