Walking In Her Heart

He walks effortlessly in her heart 

 

Guided by her beat 

 

He walks past everything 

 

Every room 

 

Every picture 

 

Every scar 

 

And 

 

Every blessing 

 

You see 

 

Since the day he stepped foot in it 

 

He’s never question the marks of his feet

 

For He

 

Follows her beat 

 

Because he knows it beats for him 

 

Through this guidance he has not only been able 

 

To walk directly 

 

But dance profoundly 

 

For he knew the heart of the women he loved 

 

She was literally living for him 

 

Every breath she made 

 

Came from the pump of her heart that 

 

Not only guided the oxygen she breathed into 

 

Every  

 

Part of her body 

 

But also guided the man she allowed to enter into 

 

Her heart

 

Her core 

 

Yes 

 

Those famous doors 

 

That no other bum could even get a chance to 

 

See

 

Because they were too busy trying to get past the 

 

Security 

 

Formed through her morality 

 

He learned something new everyday in the 

 

Time he was in there

 

With the same beat going 

 

At the 

 

Same pace 

 

Same place 

 

About the different drums used that played over 

 

And over 

 

Ever since he got in 

 

That were for him 

 

After time passed he got so used to the beat 

 

He forgot it was even there

 

But one day 

 

Something turned off 

 

He could hear the beat loud and clear 

 

And yet he didn’t understand why he felt so much 

 

Fear 

 

Creating a new path you could easily follow with 

 

Through his tears

 

He suddenly didn’t know where to go 

 

Or how to get anywhere 

 

He was lost

 

So he stopped listening with his ears 

 

And started understanding with his heart 

 

But the beat was all the same 

 

Same pace

 

Same place 

 

He didn’t know what had changed 

 

Until one last beat pumped one more time 

 

And he realized it wasn’t against his heart

 

He understood why he was walking astray 

 

 

He didn’t get lost because the hearts beat got dim 

 

He got lost because he realized the heart beat stopped beating for him
