Heart


The Organ Donor's March (K. Vermillion)

One fine day
someone came and took your life away
and that's the day
you gave your heart to me
It was a long operation
filled with complications
but now we're together
just like lovers
we are one
I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

We're sewn together
just you and me
so let's begin a family
I'll take you out for walks
we'll always be together
We're sewn together
we're through and through
and now I'm living my life for two
I feel the pressure
to be good enough for you
I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

Now I'm becoming you
or are you becoming me?
Every time I talk to the boy that I like
you beat so sweetly
but I swear just yesterday
as I was making my way down an escalator
a pretty girl turned my head
I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

I didn't know your name
you were a different color
but now that you're inside
it doesn't matter
The guilt, the shame
the scars, the pain
You're only dead 'cause I'm alive
or is it the other way 'round?
I can't decide
I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I have your heart

I have your heart
it beats inside
it's only three inches wide
I have your heart
I have your heart
I...have your heart

You gave it to me one day
when someone took your life away
I have your heart

Ah, love! The giving of one's heart into another's keeping... ;-)

It's kind of an organ recipients' march, the way I read it, and simultaneously sweet and rather eerie.

I hope you are healing well! (And please don't feel ANY pressure to "catch up" or even keep up on LJ, at least not on my account. Unless you are bored and want to!)

I couldn't help it...

Saw the picture and thought...

It's a heart... with a stethoscope. Looks like a heart with a stethoscope.

The heart... has the stethoscope...

"In Soviet Russia..."

No. Stop that.

Hope you're doing okay. Haven't seen you in way too long.

You've got my heart as long as you can use it. Or any other bits of me, within reason.

Now, you don't need both kidneys, do you? Nom nom nom.

Haven't seen you in way too long.

I have the distinct feeling that you say this every time you blink, even in my presence. You sweet-talker, you.

I would while away the hours, consorting with the flowers...

I swear, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the illustration.

Now that I've seen the song, I don't know what to think.

Just to register emotion; jealousy, devotion, and really feel the part.

When a man's an empty kettle
he should be on his mettle
and yet I'm torn apart...
