The beating of my heart,
autonomous,
I’m not supposed to think about it,
but I feel it,
this
connection to you.
Cut my string,
and I will stop
and I will fall.
Not sure the mechanism
that keeps us on,
but I am here
and my heart is beating.
I am strangely aware of it.
Touch me,
speak my name,
let me catch your eye
again,
and I am standing
on a cliff
ready to fall.
Wake me up
from this dopamine dream
with a kiss
and I am now aware
of everything I’ve done
and all that I am.
I feel my heart
beating in my chest.
Thundering,
like a hammer of the gods.
Can I contain
this much energy,
this much life
before my string breaks?
I feel the limits,
the jagged edge
of reality,
and sanity,
as I just try to breathe.
There you are,
perfect in your symmetry.
A guide,
a light to bring me home.
You smile
takes away
everything,
and I’m not even
aware
of my heart beat.
