i lie here very still
listening to the stuttered beating of my heart
squeezing my eyes shut so tight
and willing it to stop its sporadic pounding
just slow down a little
slow down a little please
until i can no longer hear you
until you no longer exist
my heart never listened to me anyway
each tear falls on the keys of my soul
and reverbrates into a sad song
a haunting sad melody of what might have been
of all that i was not strong enough to acquire
and the pounding swells inside my head
this insignificant beat
is all that separates me from agony and peace
despite whispered pleas and held breath
it beats all the same.
