Tapped-Out Heart
Heart beats deep within
Vibrating many strings
As messages and voice
Seem to renew the choice
Of renewed visitations
For passion undertaken
Yet there are reservations
Clearly underlying elation
Jerking heart back and forth
Thumps miss beats, scorched
Then things are wrapped up neat
As more words tickle arches of feet
And connection is ended with a snap
As love which was, is pulled hard back
And visions of passion rides on steeds
Gives way to a heart which still bleeds
