Heartbeat
They say your heart is inside of you
It's the driving force of everything you do
I'm not talking about the one that beats
And pumps blood throughout your body
It's not a muscle
Not in the physical sense
I'm talking about the one that pulls your
life in every direction
Implying it's outside of you
And you've entrusted it
A million ways
Yes, I'm insisting this heart
This nonphysical one
Is not within at all
And you've handed it out
Piece by piece to many
Things, people, places
And every heartbeat doesn't push life out
But pulls you in.
