And He fetched for my heart Gentle Fast That was beating, Lub dub Banging until cracks Weakened into a hole Around my chest. No longer Lub dub But a panicked Hop hop, Leg-less run marathon Out of my rib cage. Lifeless, Pumping worry And jealousy, Replacing my blood, Until anxiety rowed broken sail boats In my veins. He grabbed it Said "Stop." "Patience." And that's how the heart learned How to play the waiting game.

Arrhythmia
And He fetched for my heart Gentle Fast That was beating, Lub dub Banging until cracks Weakened into a hole Around my chest. No longer Lub dub But a panicked Hop hop, Leg-less run marathon Out of my rib cage. Lifeless, Pumping worry And jealousy, Replacing my blood, Until anxiety rowed broken sail boats In my veins. He grabbed it Said "Stop." "Patience." And that's how the heart learned How to play the waiting game.
arrhythmia [ uh-rith-mee-uh, ey-rith- ] noun [Pathology] 1. any disturbance in the rhythm of the heartbeat.
