my heart has stopped

the beating like wings
feathered and flying
my heart has stopped
for a while

the thump and the pound
there was once rhythm there
but now
my heart has stopped
for a while

for a while it got up speed
and broke free from my chest
i almost gave my heart
to someone else

but the pace was making me
sick
sick and tired
and losing the will
my heart has stopped
for a while

the thudding and the jumping
on the screen the line is still moving
i am still looking for something
but
my heart has stopped
for a while

the pumping and the juddering
it's seeming to be irregular
but maybe someday
a heart will stop
for me
for now

my heart has stopped
and stalled
