Expired Hearts

​Expired hearts,
They mean nothing
Just passed time that beat us to the end
They mean nothing,
Just passing through the ones who used us most,
And though time has gone by, the have gotten stronger with every beat
Just pass the oceans to bigger and brighter places,
And though the world seems so small from up here,
It’s the distance that makes it beat us to the finish line
And though we grow weaker with every word that we hear,
It’s the distance that makes us stronger with every street,
Expired hearts don’t mean they are old, it just means that their time has passed
It’s the distance that we have been afraid of,
Expired hearts could just never get there on time,
But they get better for the next time, for whoever finds the right place to be here
Expired hearts is all we have,
But they get better,
“It’s the distance” she said
And though it’s her that is in my head,
Just pass me by with your words,
They mean nothing now,
Expired hearts;
They should never be apart
