Contemplation

Can you see my heart beating
through the hole gaping;
I'm shaking
like I have never been shot before
with poisonous darts
like I have never been under
the influence before
of the neural toxin needed
to turn another clock into
a compass that I'll use
to try and track you down. 
As death approaches,
I become more and more 
aware that what I have done
is much more insignificant
than what was neglected. 
A lack of action
defines the human race; 
we are lethargic by nature.
But what is love?
The pursuit of (enter noun here).
That is love.
