The Pulsating Rhythm of My Heart

Hungry and bleary-eyed I lie on my bed late in the afternoon. Rain pitter-patters on my window panes, Thunder rumbles overhead. A half darkness envelops the room. I wish to sleep but repose eludes me. An enigmatic discomfort prevails. I ponder on my desperate ventures to capture your elusive heart. Where did I go wrong? My memory's gone, I can't discern What blunders I've gone and done. I know there was pain, and worry; but there was love too. Great love, too much love Perhaps too much? Surely not too little! Which is why I feel sick. Who knows if this will pass, And pass soon for I am nothing, An empty sphere without you, But it's all right. I'll try to survive. But for love's sake, please stop the singing! Delete those romantic lullabies. I suffocate. I'm drowning in my love for you. The world is spinning! Hear instead The pulsating rhythm of my heart.
