Rapid Palpitations

Hearts jump faster and faster,
The sight of escaping breath
And it's all history from here.

Hand in hand with the harlot
Treading on shattered glass
You turn your head away in fear.

Elope and never turn back
Stowaway in an empty heart
And pray for any way out.

Fall into eyes of the darkest hole,
Wanting and needing forever
As hearts jump faster and faster.
