A Heart Breaking Rhythm

A heart beats, breaking rhythm
I cannot sleep without you
Awing during dreams I see you
Calling out your name in whisper
In the night do you hear me
I am unaware if you know
How I love you, how I have fallen
I crept to a crawl on my knees
Now I’m begging to you
For a kiss, to feel your lips
On my own embracing my night
Keep me awake, make me scream
A heart beat once, twice and again
I cannot sleep anymore
I see you in my dreams, I am awake
Is this fantasy deluding me
Whispers to the night escape
Can you hear my voice, my heart beat
Breaking the rhythm you gave to me
