Pulse

Today I was revisited by some thoughts of you
And not the ones that felt like abuse
When I was in a panic
Your breath would become static
As if I could grasp it
When the tears weren't from you
My mind does what it do
Tucked in your rib cage
I'd curl into
A heart sized ball
And I would pulse
I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse

Pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd
Pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd
Pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse

Pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse
Pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse
I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse and I'd pulse

You would protect me from me
But never from you

You would protect me from me
But never from you
Never from you
