The Heart

And its stages

The heart aches

It longs

For something

That is not there

The heart awakes

At any sign of a

Kindred spirit

A heart persuades

And captures

Another

The heart realizes

What's at stake

And continues

Still

The heart takes

A

Leap

Of

Faith

The heart mistakes

Security for love

A

heart

snakes

And

Slithers

And

Sinks

Its

Teeth

Into

Your

Flesh

And

Latches

On

The heart takes

Caution

And throws it to the

Wind

The heart makes

The boundary lines

Blur

The heart steps on the brakes

Wanting to get off

The roller coaster

Before the

Drop

The heart breaks

The second it is betrayed

heartbreak
