hamartia
my heart beats faster than my brain can reason,
should be feeling hot, but I’m left only freezing.
still it doesn’t mean that I’m not getting warm.
within the darkness, struck up a storm,
can’t believe this. what have I done?
how could I ruin all the fun?
times we were having, or were they so;
a second too late after time to go.
beating, beating, never calm down,
ever feeling; I’m about to drown.
white hot transforms to blue,
I get lost in all that flew
around me; I’m a shadow.
back to where I started, flow-
ing through this space.
should’ve seen my face.
darkness engulfed it and now it’s gone.
replaced with one so much forlorn.
if absense makes the heart grow fonder,
why am I feeling I should saunder
away from the people; away from the place
when all I needed was a resting pace.
my heart beats faster than my brain can reason,
the answer I find would never be pleasing.
all I want is the victor, all I want is the kill,
yet I stood there and didn’t consider how thrill-
ing it will be for me to go through
with this. caught up in a terrible slew.
engulfed in the fire of my only flame,
should never have thought of playing this game.
realize I didn’t, so change my mind,
nadia, you know not to sacrifice meaning for rhyme.
now you’re off topic, look at this mess.
will you recover and simply confess?
for the ways you’re escaping simply found more
convenient places; you’d never look in them for.
but since you have found them what will you do,
live your life in an off color hue?
slower, slower, let it down
do not let it make a sound.
let it go through me like a gentle fall breeze and
my heart beats faster than my brain can reason.
oh my heart.
