Heartbeat Away

A cycle of poems «Your Fragments of a Broken Heart»

City sleeps beneath a blanket dark and gray
Streetlights hum a lonely, melancholic lay
Another night, another empty space beside
Just the echo of your laughter deep inside

I trace the lines of pictures on the wall
Remembering the moments, standing strong and tall
But memories are fading, like the setting sun
And I'm left here wondering where my heart has run

You're just a heartbeat away, I know it's true
A whisper in the silence, calling out for you
A breath upon the wind, a shimmering light
Just a heartbeat away, and everything is right

I try to fill the void with noise and bustling sound
But everywhere I look, your presence can be found
In every crowded room, in every passing face
A fleeting glimpse of hope, a desperate chase

I trace the lines of pictures on the wall
Remembering the moments, standing strong and tall
But memories are fading, like the setting sun
And I'm left here wondering where my heart has run

You're just a heartbeat away, I know it's true
A whisper in the silence, calling out for you
A breath upon the wind, a shimmering light
Just a heartbeat away, and everything is right

Maybe it's a dream, maybe I'm just blind
To the truth that always lingers in my mind
That love can bridge the distance, conquer fear and doubt
If I just believe, and let my feelings shout

You're just a heartbeat away, I know it's true
A whisper in the silence, calling out for you
A breath upon the wind, a shimmering light
Just a heartbeat away, and everything is right

Heartbeat away... oh, just a heartbeat away
Come back to me again, and chase these blues away
Heartbeat away... you're just a heartbeat away
And I'll be waiting here, until the break of day.
