My Heart Revived

My Heart Revived

A Poem by shawnt5604

My heart has been let down before-
Used and abused
And left to die
Still beating alone on the floor

Yearning for more
As the beat of my heart begins to slow down
The sound
Vibrating against the ground
So faintly
as I have failed to look around
And see what was there in front of me
All along

But as I look up
My heart starts to beat the tune of a new song
When I see your face
And realize
That there isn't a single thing wrong
With you

And finally I choose
To listen to the many clues
That have been telling me for so long
That the hope I once had
Is not yet gone

You smile
And my heart beats one pace faster
You laugh
As I sense my mind being captured
By an infatuation-
A euphoric sensation
A new feeling-
An irresisable temptation

You pick my heart up off the floor-
Now beating with passion
That hasn't been felt for years

And now that I couldn't ask for more
I just pray that you continue casting
My heart away from the tears
I cried before

It's a little too late
To turn back now
Because my heart is revived.

Feeling I've met my fate
This seems to be how
I become truly alive.

Because with you by my side
I know
That I'll never see another night
Without you in my life

Which is why
I know this is true
My heart no longer struggles to beat
Because now it beats for you
