beat my heart

 

did you

feel my heart

beat

between your fingers

your soft hands

on my neck

as i heaved

my last sigh of dignity

 

did you

feel my heart

beat

on your fist

crashing on my chest

my arm

my other arm

terrorist of my body

 

did you

feel my heart

beat

as it sank down

to my feet

and buried itself

to close its eyes

my body its tombstone

my bruises the epitaph

 

did you

feel my heart

beat

when you beat my heart

squeezed one last drop of blood from it

with these hands

that once loved me
