The heart is a muscle

I will look at love

as more than just an instrument of pain.

And will give myself completely

to the moving and the strange

I will not spend the years depleted

Of my willingness to try

It won’t hurt this way forever

It ain’t worth the overtime

I will not play this out discreetly

It is real and unashamed

I am human now and terrified

But want it all the same

The heart

The heart

The heart

The heart is a muscle.

And I wanna make it strong.

(Gang of Youths).
