Analysis of The Tempo of My Heart
The tempo of my heart
The tremolo trembling
The staccato of pain soaked needles
And the crescendo of self loathing
A tenor that’s of tender flesh-
Whips of agony play cadence
This rondo of trying
Swings me round by my chains-
I created for thyself
Life’s Andante inferno-
Burning hellscapes and doubts
No matter the Rhapsody I profuse-
I conclude it will forever be the same Motif
For the tempo of my heartbeat is a tremolo off beat
