• A heart.
    A thump-thump-thumping that will go on
    Forever
    If you let it
    A heart.
    A pulse of moving blood that will keep moving
    Until death.
    Some things make the heart beat
    Fast.
    Faster.
    You are one of those things.
    The heart beats: Thump
    Thump.
    Thump.
    You walk into the room
    And the heart
    Beats faster:
    Tha-thump tha-thump.
    Tha-thump.
    If I wasn’t
    Afraid,
    I would tell you
    What you do to my heart
    How you make it
    Feel
    Beat faster,
    Heat up
    Circle through my veins like
    They’re on fire
    And light me up
    From the inside
    Until I’m glowing
    And all I can hear is
    Tha-thump, tha-thump
    As I watch my heart race
    And your crooked smile
    Calling me home,
    And making my heartbeat
    Never want to stop.
