My heart has never learned
To most slowly
It jumps
Crashes
Changes directions
With no warning
Im moments im certain
Then losing control
Then steady
For feelings
I dont see coming
They say it dramatic
But dont understand
But thats how my heart talks
Sudden shifts
Sharp turns
In intensity that refuses
To be weighed
Im trying to tame it
To teach it to be calm
To stay still
But it was born
For moving fast
For feeling deeply
To love like its a crash
And take break like a confession
Its my whiplash heart
Messy,
Reckless
alive
