Impart

i'd like to give you my heart,
handed on a silver platter
Beating----------------------------
-----------in------------------------
---------------time-----------------
----------------------with the slow
rhythm you play on your guitar

i'd like to give you my heart,
Drumming to the sound of
my shallow breathing and
your-pulse-under-my-finger-tips

i'd like to give you my heart,
Pounding in my chest and
aching to burst with an over
flow of secret teen angst

i'd like to give you my heart
Hamm-er-ing between us;
full of things that I'll never
have the courage to say

i give you my heart to
Beat and Drum and
Pound and Hammer-

ready to hand back to me
into a million little pieces

i'd like to give you my heart
so i can spend
the rest of eternity
wishing you'd give it back
