Heartbeat
Her heart sounds like
and her breath tastes like
and her shoes click like
and her eyes flash like
But when she catches her breath
does she also shine?
One breath of roses
One breath of honey
One breath it burns but it doesn't make me
Just once
Just once for me
Just one more time
If you dilute the truth so much that the numbers can't think you
If you dilute and dilute and dilute even the blood
And say
Oh even that blood barely flows
Then what is truth?
One on each side
One above
One Below
I would know this nothing
Nothing anyplace
Nothing anytime
Nothing anywhere
