The heart pulses
Blood pushes through the veins
Each mans own river
All carefully contained
The skin splits open
And blood rushes out
Pouring forth it comes
The life spills out
As death comes in
The heart begins to cease
To beat no more and
Give man his release
All gone is the hurt, pain, and tears
But gone too is joy and happiness
All replaced by
An eternal bliss
