The Best Heart Attack Poem by Melissa Joy Chesky

You buzz through
my static-like mind;
my heart stops
because I know it's you.
Your written words
make my heart
jump-start
back to life
and your breath
enlivens my lungs
once more.

If I knew electrocution jolts
from your messages felt so
euphoric...
Please, shock me once more.

Your words
put my breathing
into tremors;
it's like my brain
disconnected from
my lungs,
it's like your the
best heart attack.

And I dare not breathe,
with your arms around me
I wouldn't be able to anyway
with me crushed against your frame.

If I knew suffocating
in your grasp felt so
exhilarating...
Please, let me die twice.

It's like you've got a
clutch on my thoughts.
My eyes can't hide
anything from yours.
You KNOW,
you know
and you comfort and soothe
my restless mind
with those chocolate eyes
and I lull in painless waters-
Like Novocain,
like the best heart attack.

And I just want more.
