The heart it is an organ

Which keeps a steady beat,

Like a metronome ticking slowly

Or the sound of pounding feet.

The blood is pumped through it slowly

A neverending, gushing flow

Sometimes it beats too quickly

And sometimes it beats too slow

No one can deny its importance

For it is the vessel that keeps you alive

Always you seek to appease it

Make it hunt for sustenance, on which it must survive.

However the heart is temperamental

It can be twisted and destroyed

Rotting and everchanging

Once the evil has been deployed

For it is the brain that keeps it steady

Controls it's hammering, yearning beat

For without the brains companionship

The beating it would cease

For what is a corpse without a brain

Or a person with no heart

They go together hand in hand

Must never be kept apart
