A Pain in the Chest

A PAIN IN THE CHEST

Ever felt your heart thump ten to the dozen
You’re dizzy and it’s hard to breathe
Funny you don’t really feel like a fight
And you certainly don’t want to leave

A foreign sensation you’ve not felt before
But not altogether that bad
You’re starving, you’re sleepless and yet you want more
Can’t think straight and yet you are glad

There’s a pain in your gut and a burn in your chest
You’re as weak as wee baby kitten
Your thoughts consist of nothing unless
They’re of that, of whom which you are smitten

Can’t hold a thought for even a second
When a thought of that one barges in
The one you think this is an angel from heaven
And goose bumps appear on your skin

You once saw a bird, you now see a dove
A flower’s beauty until now unseen
But now you know of this thing they call love
It’s warm and its light, it’s serene
