Ere My Heart Stops Beating For Thee
Like a string of smoke
Slithering...
Up and away from a raging flame
As though a Phoenix is rising
From the ashes
My passionate heart
Which beats for thee, and only thee
Which is stubbornly tethered
To every conceivable ounce of thy being
Which holds thee with a vice-like grip
Could grow cold, unprying suddenly
No longer beating for thee
If thy own heart isn't given
Just as willingly
