Heart Murmurs

HEART MURMURS
by Chanel Danette
09/15/10

Beating inside my chest,
its a pain I cannot cure.
What's the sound of love?
What's the sound of hurt?

Eyes will close so the tears won't fall.
The mouth will close so the heart won't speak.
What's the sound of love?
What's the sound of hurt?

Days go short and the nights grow long.
Winters are colder and the mid-summer breeze is crisper.
What's the sound of love?
What's the sound of hurt?

There's a laughter in my voice,
but a soreness in my chest.
Beating, beating, beating...
What's the sound of love?
What's the sound of hurt?
