Heartbeat Away

A heartbeat away from spilling it all

A heartbeat away from being the fool

A heartbeat away from not being confused 

A heartbeat away from not feeling used 

A heartbeat away from gut wrenching pain

A heartbeat away from going insane

A heartbeat away because enough is enough

A heartbeat away from you, my love

YOUR HEARTBEATS THE WRONG DIRECTION. SIMON, ENJOYED YOUR POEM. I found myself feeling so sad this morning I did spill the beans to my Hubby. The pain is gone. Still I do not feel like it was enough. Loved your poem. Have yourself a blessed day.-skat
