It shoots across my heart quickly
The familiar shock in my chest
I can feel it seeping from my pores
Covering my skin
Sliding down my spine
And settling in my stomach
Love
Too bad it’s peppered by heartbreak
It’s always bittersweet on my tongue
My fantasy is swiftly shattered
Love
He doesn’t ache like I do
It doesn’t leave him yearning in the night
Love
It tightens my throat
Leaves me shaking
It plays on my emotion
Love
He keeps his heart at a cool distance
Love
My heart won’t stop beating to his rhythm

Very well written Moon. I can understand your torment for something that seems or is out of reach. I like the repetition of the word love and can visualize this as a spoken word performance. Excellent work.

When I was writing it, I visualized someone speaking life into the words on some stage. Good observation. It can emotionally devastating some days and easily coped with sometimes as well. You learn to get by with your heart guarded. Thank you for the feedback.
