Heartbeat after heartbeat

by Elisabeth Barstowe — Read all 441 poems by Elisabeth Barstowe

Now don’t get your knickers in a twist. I did have a life before this. 😊

Poem Artwork

 

What is this I hear that dreams come true ?

But will they for me and you?

A taste of bitterness on my tounge

A breath of sadness in my lungs

I don’t believe in a happy ever after

when so much is at stake that matters 


Heartbeat after heartbeat on the line 

An empty spot in this soul of mine 

Perfectly fitted for you

And a love I know to be true  


Hour after hour pass by 
in silence with me and my
foolish fairytale dream 
never was real it seems
That of lovers lost and found
back to take another round 


Choke me into submission 
Take me from this decision 
Should I stay or should I go
knowledge doesn't suffice to make it so 
As long as this heart is still beating 
you will never see me retreating 

Still the decision is completely up to you
my life, my heart and soul I give to you
But you will never see me reaching through 
The veil that hold us apart 
was yours right from the start

Gawd, I hate it when my knickers are in a twist! What I read is an open heart and open mind that I do not feel sorry for or want to help, but applaud. Bravo for an honest poem that will bring some readers to tears, if not me.
