rapid, rapid heartbeat cease your heaving
horse hoove's pace
stop shaking and rattling the walls which keep
you ever safely encased
he doesn't love us
that meaning I nor you
it's pointless to ponder this trail of waneful
thoughts that lead only to a deadend avenue
we shall stand together as one and sustain this
most heartless of blows
and we shall enter triumph's golden ring
smelling like the truly most exquisitely rare
and beautiful rose
but will he let our love die like a quiet and
contented passing soul
or in his maniacal mind does he have a much
crueler or ghoulish goal
when thoughts accidentally fall onto his path
they beat a hasty retreat
his name in my heart I try to forget
like the colossal mistake I made long ago
that I never wish to repeat
for me that will be a most exhausting
functional feat
my embarressment gives off a terrific
perfunctionary heat
oh, it would be an almost welcome and
beloved blessing
to be gifted with the art of telepathy
or second guessing...........
