Poem #19: What The Heart Wants

I feel now

the rush of adrenaline

the peak of rhythmic beating

I feel how

your hands rest against mine

and your laughter reverberates

through the air.

Sometimes I don't know

how to feel

when you are around me.

But my body decides

for me even when

my mind cannot take it.

I don't know what

I will do anymore

I feel I have been

betrayed by feeling

as I feel now

the rhythmic beating.
