Heartbeat
I have money
I'll throw it up to the sky
have blisters on my hands
but I'll keep working
on my knees
if it keeps you satisfied
yes, we mingle
with all the cool people
not my thing
but I see how it makes you feel
just give me this
the time I get
to hold you tight
drifting off into paradise
I'm not too wild
just a little fucked in mind
a kiss on the cheek
sends my demons home
I know you say you're not sexy
but if that's true
then why does my heart keep beating?
hell, I traveled half the country
and would do it again
in a heartbeat
just give me this
the time I get
to hold you tight
drifting off into paradise
I never wanted anything
not all the praise or celebrity
the cars and fancy dishes
yet, guess we all play the game of life
pulled in every direction
wish I could be pulled away
with you to a whole different place
guess that's a young man's dream
or a dying man's last wish
but you on my arm
while I drift off
is pretty good too
I'll throw it up to the sky
have blisters on my hands
but I'll keep working
on my knees
if it keeps you satisfied
yes, we mingle
with all the cool people
not my thing
but I see how it makes you feel
just give me this
the time I get
to hold you tight
drifting off into paradise
I'm not too wild
just a little fucked in mind
a kiss on the cheek
sends my demons home
I know you say you're not sexy
but if that's true
then why does my heart keep beating?
hell, I traveled half the country
and would do it again
in a heartbeat
just give me this
the time I get
to hold you tight
drifting off into paradise

wish I could be pulled away

Dear DC,
I really enjoyed this write. The scenarios you describe of a man with simple wants just trying to please his love made me think of the generous spirit in giving just because. Lovely write. H🌷
