my heart beats
and my heart flutters
as if one thousand hummingbirds
were escaping
from the belly
of a Great White shark

your voice calms me
yet, I remain anxious
and nervous

and your smile melts me
and I turn into a pool of liquid
like the ocean
surrounding the shark

the same shark
that I was making
my jail break from

my heart dances
when I see your face
and you keep me healthy
YOU KEEP ME ALIVE
