Life at a Steady Pace

My heartbeat races like a speeding car.

It gets faster as I feel a rush of happiness

And my heart slows to a steady beat 

With the realization of absolute joy.

 

Suddenly  I am struck by the strongest 

Sensation of loss I have ever felt.

With the feeling comes the slowing of 

My heart and the feeling 

Of loneliness and betrayal almost stopping 

The steady pace of my life.
