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.
