The Beat

The beat that my heart skipped sounded like this
 Every now and then I cower and I need to find empowerment.
 Empowerment is paramount to how I can begin to mount
 a plan that I can implement to make a dent on ignorance
 instead of drunk belligerence and the dissidence of miscreants.
 Especially in this instance with the never ending persistence
 to use the words in each sentence as if they were blunt instruments
 to beat a hole in the defence of this beauty and her innocence
 which serves to just build resistance in spite of all my good intents.
 The beat that my heart skipped
 This is the beat that my heat skipped
 This is the beat that my heat skipped
 This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met.
 Now that I? ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret.
 No disrespect, but we left a lot of people upset
 and what we had wasn? t really what we? d come to expect.
 This is the beat that my heart skipped when we first met.
 Now that I? ve heard it, it leaves me with a kind of regret.
 No disrespect, but we left a lot of people upset
 and what we had wasn? t really what we? d come to expect.
 Well good God damn and other such phrases,
 I haven? t heard a beat like this in ages.
 To miss such a beat would have been outrageous
 but when you heart skips a beat, it's ruthless and aimless.
 She caught my attention in fishnets.
 Then she reeled me in, expecting nothing more than kissed necks and quick sex.
 But that weren? t the case with this platinum princess
 She? d attracted my interest and I wanted to impress
 upon her all the positive things
 that come from having more than just a one night fling
 but that? s something easier in theory than in practice
 since pick up lines are tactics to get prey to the mattress
 And this actress is practiced in shunning such theatrics
 When put upon daily by tactless geriatrics
 So my genuine advances are met with real scepticism
 Throwing complements but she just straight elects to miss them
 Her lips were put on this earth for dispersing wisdom
 God forbid I suggest she lets me kiss them
 But I really want to know what she thinks of me
 Because I? m loving every idiosyncrasy
 But I ain? t one to jump through hoops to make a first impression
 Been there, done that, learnt the worst of lessons
 We want to be loved for who we appear to be instead of who we are
 So our real selves take a backseat behind the pomp and the fa? ade
 And that? s as true of the rude boys, downing pints and acting hard
 As of the kids shunning convention with clinical disregard
 This is the beat that my heart skipped. and it went.
