you seep into my core
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking
the swatch of stubble
and Adam’s apple
the vanilla tinge
to your skin
as I drop a kiss
on your clavicle
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking
watching shadows
maypole along your cheeks
sun illuminates you
this is no illusion
the kerplunk of our pulse
inside our chests
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking

you seep into my core
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking
the swatch of stubble
and Adam’s apple
the vanilla tinge
to your skin
as I drop a kiss
on your clavicle
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking
watching shadows
maypole along your cheeks
sun illuminates you
this is no illusion
the kerplunk of our pulse
inside our chests
there’s my heartbeat
you know
as regular as blinking
