My Heartbeat is the Rhythm…To the Music in Your Soul

By Travis Kelley, July 15, 2001

Sunlit faces

Sweet embraces

Ego-races

But just for fun

Never ending

Money spending

Message sending

To your brain

Pizza houses

Light blue couches

Big big “ouches”

(I poked your eye!)

Watching your movie

You look right though me

You will consume me

Later that night

“No lights on, please”

You’re such a tease

Used the moment to seize

All that I could

Went *four* hours

Love’s sweet powers

It never sours

Only gets sweeter

Then we awoke

“I need a coke”

Jeez. I’m flat broke

But rich in love

Watched the finale

Death (?) to Glory?!

Willow is the story

She made it all possible

Time to go

(My moms such a hoe)

I’ll be back, though

A.S.A.P.

Talk on the web

My face turning red

From the things that you said

They are so scandalous!

Lots of good times

Lots of good rhymes

Each day my mind finds

The man of my dreams

But then it went wrong

No more poem, no more song

Just the silence of the qualm

When you left me on the internet

Much shame and much hurt

Went from flying to dirt

Went from fresh to “needing a Cert…”

(That means it went sour)

I wrote all these things

Because my heart still rings

And my mind still sings

To the tune of your love

All this indecision

From love’s dank, dark prison

But my heartbeat is the rhythm

To the music in your soul

And I’ll follow through

On my promises to you

If you ever only knew…

How much I really love you

I know I’m just a boy

And just a silly toy

But now I’m not being coy,

Will you please take me back?
