Heartbeat

If all you wanted was my heartbeat,
you only had to ask.

Each beat, each pulse of it
is there only for you.
There is no need for deception,
though easy a mark am I.

I believe all you tell me, each lie,
I do not question them.

I cannot – I will not!
For I am lost in the promise of what might be,
what never was.

 

Take them all…

I have no further use for heartbeats.

Oh my, such a write...to completely give over oneself to another. It seems there is some malice coming from the other you write about but then there still is longing it seems to be with that person. An intriquing, succinct write. Thank you for sharing. I hope all is well with you - this one is such a departure from what I am used to reading from you, you are a wonder at nature poetry - this one makes me quite sad. I hope that noone would do this to you and your loving heart and soul.
Love and Light,
Siddartha

It seems like at the end you aretrying to say you give your very life away... since when your heart stops beating you are technically dead. Very beautiful... but also seems sad because the woman seems to be taking advantage of everything you have to offer.
