Ere My Heart Stops Beating For Thee

Like a string of smoke
                             Slithering...
            Up and away from a raging flame
                As though a Phoenix is rising
                         From the ashes
                     My passionate heart
          Which beats for thee, and only thee
               Which is stubbornly tethered
       To every conceivable ounce of thy being
         Which holds thee with a vice-like grip
          Could grow cold, unprying suddenly
                 No longer beating for thee
                If thy own heart isn't given
                        Just as willingly
