#71 of Poetry

This poem is about hoping that the person you love doesn't die.

Silence

I listen to the pounding in his chest.

I press my ear up against his rib cage

And sigh to myself as the rhythmic beating

Makes my own heart race faster.

I memorize the beat

So that is beats inside my head

Every night before I go to bed.

It wakes me up every morning

And tells me to prepare for the day.

The day I hope to never see

Is the day I press my ear

Up to his chest

And hear silence.

So I wake up each day

With a smile on my face

For him, though I suppose

It is for me as well.
