Follow the Heart

Her breathe taken,
Not by will,
Her body shaken,
Never still,

Death she thinks,
On she will go,
But her heart tells her,
Be strong and hold on,

On she fights,
The war of life,
The struggle so tight,
But on she fights,

Like death,
The heart is red,
And never still,
Follow the heart.
