Heart beats with every second of time
Cutting deep with every word, every rhyme.
Lungs breath out, with every gasp of air.
Shredding in worry with every problem, every care.
Mind gears with the weight of every thought.
Memorized in detail of every battle ever fought.
Tear stream down the surface of every pore.
Burning like fire, scorching every core.
Eye blinks fast, to the passing of life.
Every new chapter, sharper and more serrated
Dig deeper each and every knife.
