Funky One

My love for her was bursting and made for tv.

She didn't miss a beat

Her heart flat lined as she thought of me.

In my carelessness I  set to hard of a pace.

Her Maker waited until I was distracted.

Thump.. Thump...

Cupid called and the race was won.

Childlike with those bloody teeth.

Tore the artery I shared with you.

Shocked and raced along.

Waiting for the defib to catch.

Thump... Thump.
