Heartbeats…

(Edited from snapshots of film 'Heartbeats')

Waiting for the walls to close in

Any excuse for that matter

To get close to you

And hear your heartbeats…

Lost in the curls of your hair

Drowned in your green eyes

Thoughts of my heart

Never make it to you

Desperation hits bang on

Vulnerable heart and soul

I put them on a platter

But your appetite was lost

Rejection always takes its toll

Deeper blue or brighter red

Missed by a single shade

Enrolling in a feel-good sex

Soon Summer comes calling

Hearts of Winter spring anew

New object of affection spotted

Another hide and seek begins
