Between The Heartbeats

I twinkle with the stars of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is why I live, 
then why don’t I die between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is my mom’s love,
then why doesn’t she hate me between the heartbeats?

I dance under the moonlight of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is my favourite song,
then why doesn’t the music stop between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is laughing with friends,
then why don’t we stop between the heartbeats?

I shine during the golden hour of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is how flowers blossom,
then why don’t they wither between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is the origin of waterfall,
then why doesn’t it stand still between the heartbeats?

I whisper to the winds of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is the temple of joy,
then why doesn’t god leave his heaven between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is my poetry,
then why doesn’t the paper bleed between the heartbeats?

I bloom with the roses of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is heartbreak’s enemy,
then why don’t they become friends between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is love’s long lost friend,
then why don’t they reunite between the heartbeats?

I search for the heaven in the hell of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is what keeps me sane,
then is that why my mind’s a maniac between the heartbeats?
If heartbeat is what makes us human,
then is that why they turned into monsters between the heartbeats?

I burn in the flames of what,
What is the lapse between the beats of the heart?
If heartbeat is her beautiful angel,
then did the sweet girl turn into the queen of devils
between the heartbeats?
