heartbeat

I'd spent my life rejecting
Any real love proposals,
Instead giving parts of myself to wicked men
Who used me at their disposal.

But then I met a man one day
Who was honest, smart and nice,
And though I tried to keep my cool
He melted my heart of ice.

As the weeks went by he softened me
And silenced cruel thoughts in my head,
I panicked under the pressure of feelings
And words I'd not before felt or said.

Though weary I've given in to them
And as I feel myself start to fall,
I can't help but smile at how fast he makes my heart beat
Even in the times that I wish it wouldn't beat at all.
