Persistant Hearts

Please don't leave me awake alone at night.
I might think too much and cause a fight.
A fight between my heart and mind, that is.
Can anyone around here actually believe this?

Life is too short to not follow your wild heart.
Going in the wrong direction is the worst part.
Maybe it's all a part of growing up and learning.
Maybe it's to teach us to control our yearning.

What do we do when it's all we want?
What do we do when we're never in front?
We're on the back burner burning brightly.
Can you turn me down even a little slightly?

Help me calm down my heart.
Help me from falling apart.
Can you see it beating?
I'm not ever leaving.

I'm not giving up on my Earthly Heaven.
I'm not scared nor am I shaken.
Today, I am persistent.
Tomorrow, you are listening.
