Shocked Heart

I forgot that the heart beats. I've been robotic. Thought is unneeded. Emotions are useless. But a sudden shock to the system, Reminds me... My heart beats. It was easy, I've been busy, Then the news came, I am alive again. Apart of me wishes I wasn't. Knowing that someone I loved passed, I wish, I stayed robotic. That news made me feel again. I've become aware of my heart. My system is shocked.

It sounds like a fresh wound, and even if it is not, it is still there, lingering, waiting to take you by surprise. I am sorry about that; it never comes at an opportune time. Changing the world as you know it.
