My Heart Poem by Keelie Smith

My heart is pounding so hard

That the only thing I can see

Is the red that blurs my vision

My breath is coming so fast

That the only thing I can hear

Is the unsteady rhythm

My skin is numbing so clearly

That the only thing I can feel

Is the tingles passing through me

My pain is coming so smoothly

That only these tears that fall

Is dulling the memory

But it all disappears

When he comes back to me.
