Orange Heart

An hour glass that slowly moves

As grains of sand run thin,

Despite emotions that may continue

This orange heart settles in.


Lack of worry matches your eyes

And your heart to match your furr,

I beg you to defeat time

This orange heart strikes nerves.


Soon life will have passed its peak

And for that I don’t mind,

Although I lied through my teeth

This orange heart will be just fine.
