I wrote this as a teen, trying to navigate the crazy world of dating.

Your heart is beating so loud

but does it beat with love for me?

do you feel brave enough

to take a chance with my dream,

or is it all a game to you?

It's my body which dances when you touch me

it's my heart which dances when you smile 

I hear its pounding in my head

I feel its song in my veins

when you are near.

But your heart is not free

I chose to forget the fact

that it is bound by an obligation

an unexplained guilt

or maybe even love

My new life was just beginning.

My heart led me on, and you stole it away

If I wait, the hole will be filled

the wound from which these feelings leak

will be stoppered by my will

alone.
