A Noise That Won't Go Away

A Noise That Won't Go Away

I hear a noise that won't go away;
It stays with me all through the day.

It thumps louder when my Love nears;
Softer when music caresses my ears.

I get angry, it thunders and pounds;
Chat with my friend, I hear calmer sounds.

Do something wrong, it thuds in my chest;
Purrs when I wrap in my quilt, for a rest.

Injustice! It hurts deep inside;
Seeing our flag, it echoes with pride.

I hear a noise I hope won't depart;
The source of the noise is each beat of my heart.
