The pound of a heart

The whirlpool of love
Took us to another world
But like all worlds, reality hits the hardest
You wake up with fists ready for more
Just make sure your aiming at the right thing

A heart can stop when pushed to hard
As it aches, longs and aches for more
The pounding it takes becomes its enemy
Struggling to take a beat as it skips a few
Get knocked down once more

It needs you to take a breath
It needs you to take in air
Transfer it with red blood cells

Your body needs it
Your white blood cells protect the shell around your heart

As the blood transfers to the brain
Allow it to think
Allow it to make you sometimes sink
As long as you get up, with little or no bruises
Your alive, take another punch

Come on life
Come on love
No hurting can stop this heart of mine
