If only for you

If only for You

If my heart beats 

only for you, 

then I am a slave to your rhythm.

I am a instrument of 

Your musical genius 

Waiting for that next note

The sound that pierces 

My every vein.

Creeps through

My vessels

Strengthens 

My bones

If my heart 

Beats 

Only 

For 

You

Let me be

Your song

Your melody

At midnight

You're lyrics

At sunrise

Aloud me 

To flow 

Across your

Finger tips 

As you 

Play my tune

If my heart

Beats only

For 

You
