The Billionth Beat

Description


My heart, you cannot keep this up forever,
Its alright to let go, you can rest now.
Your feelings they were always in the shadows
You kept on beating as I grew older and wiser.
Not a day did you complain to me
You were my best friend and my first love
Secrets you kept treasured in your depths
I will always be in debt to you

This day 'tick-tock', our clock will stop
I know I have not been true to you for long
More than once did I wish I could change,
But my thoughts, she pulled me away from you.
You know thought, she was always possessive.
Whenever I wished to be with you,
She awakened in me and made me think.
She loved to keep me thinking,
But I know you love it when I start dreaming.

I have had you beating the first melody of life,
Before my first thought, I was yours .
But we slipped away, separated by thought.
Thought has never shown any heart.
She kept me winning, but my triumphs 
They are my biggest failures
For I never won over my thoughts

Tonight as we trickle down to the last beats,
My fleeting life has no more thoughts
For all I have are your fading beats. 
I woke up to life, listening to your first rhythm
A billion beats from then,
I finally wish to go back to sleep with you,
Dissolving into your fading final melody.

There are times in our lives when we have to make a decision. One that rips you apart, the one where your heart says one thing while your thought says to chose the other. Most of us give away our true feelings, to reason. We follow success instead of our heart. Our heart gets hurt and deceived over and over again. This is a poem on the conversation between me and my heart moments before I die.
