Heart on A String


Miss Erika Davies is familiar to San Diego music fans for her devotion to the old-timey ballad and her frequent performances at Lestat's West. Visit her MySpace page to learn more.


i used to think i had a heart

'til mine quit working

it tried to leave me

though

i fought to keep it in

so now

it hangs inside my chest

swings back and forth

no more

no less

an empty silence

where my heartbeat used to be
