How it Spins


And the heartbeat of the Earth keeps thumping. and thumping . And thumping. 

And it beats as your heart falls apart, 

but it keeps thumping and thumping and thumping , 

And it beats as the best moments of your life pass by 

but it keeps thumping and thumping and thumping, 

and it doesn’t stop for your bad days 

when you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, 

it keeps thumping and thumping and thumping. 

And when you lose motivation and your life stops 

it keeps thumping and thumping and thumping, 

And soon you’re stuck in the dark abyss of your mind 

And it keeps thumping and thumping and thumping

and when everyone else has left you 

 Her heartbeat aligns with yours and they keep 

thumping and thumping and thumping. 

And when your heart stops 

she does not wait for you . 

Her heart keeps thumping.
