your heartbeat
I fell asleep to it many a time
slow, steady, strong
it was the thing
that kept me grounded
anytime I heard it

symbolism of times
long gone

my heart is always fast
110 a minute

"someone's excited."
you'd say with a smirk
and continue finding ways
around my body
climbing up to 120

it's pathetic
that I remember the exact beat
to which your heart followed
I'd sell my soul
to feel as high as I did
the first time I heard that beat
peaking even higher than that 125
