Heartbeat
I love the sound of your heart.
Thud-dub-thud-dub-thud-dub-thud-dub
So strong and steady.
It makes me feel homesick for a place I’m not sure even exists.
I no longer know who I am, who I was, or who I wanted to be.
I just want to lay here and listen to the sound of your heart beating until I die.
How sad it is to know that this
Steady beatings will come to an end,
And there will no longer be you.
You, my love. My life. My hero.
I live for you, my love. I lived for you.
Please don’t leave me. Just stay here, next to me, in this place, you and I.
We’ll go look for a place for us to hide.
Or we could just hide here,
Here in our shelter.
Please don’t let me go. How can I ever live without you?
For now, I’ll close my eyes
Pretend I’m asleep, next to the sound
Of your dying heart beat.
