Beating For You

In the dead of the night, 
I lay awake in thought. 
In the dark, out of sight, 
where all questions are caught. 

I ask all I can, 
but never hear a word. 
I can't understand 
why my questions are't heard. 

Everything's repeated, refresh and restart. 
That's when I hear the beating of a heart
My own I assume and in the dark of the room. 
I can feel the cold loom as I mimic the tune, 

I hear the sound beating, again and again. 
The tune keeps repeating inside of my head. 
I find that my thoughts can control my heart's tune. 
And that the beating gets faster, when I'm thinking of you.
