A creaking heart,

A creak with every beat for every second that seems like an year

A creaking heart inside

Creaks a little everyday

But you inside are safe away

Locked in the warmth that hides

Away from the darkness that creeps

The smoke of time covers the way

Stumbling feet steps forward

Yet I never let a speck touch you

Even as your grave gathered dust

And the fallen leaves crumble beneath

I keep you safe in my rusted heart
