A Heart's Tale

The catch in your breath your pulsating chest You're lightheaded, silly tongue babbling, willy-nilly Eviscerated, all that when she crosses your path Your heart turned to stone bare survival alone

I have seen this so often " You're lightheaded, silly tongue babbling, willy-nilly" - it is hilarious to me. Well penned!

Wow, the turn was a bit shocking, G.W. Nice couplets that tell the whole story in just a few lines. Enjoyed it.

Maybe I was thinking of that Hall & Oates hit from the 80's, 'Man-Eater,' about the woman who ate men alive. Grisly. :) gw
