All I need to survive


One thing I cannot live without
Trust me I have no doubt that this 
One this would be my heart 
 
Pumping blood into my veins 
When the room goes silent the 
Thumping goes insane jumping 
Through my veins as though they are 
 
a long trail of trampolines 
Bouncing with fear and pain that
Holds my passion back.
 
When I say I cannot live without 
My heart I do not mean just this 
Thing that keeps breath in my body
But this thing that gets warm when I'm being hugged by arms that is attached to another heart 
 
This would be where love starts.
