The heartbeat <br />of another night <br />waiting for you <br />skips, <br />falters, <br />then steadies. <br /> <br />The rustling of leaves, <br />the mocking wind, <br />the cheeky wink of every star <br />reminds me <br />of you. <br /> <br />And my heart <br />skips, <br />falters, <br />then enters my mouth <br />in a silent plea. <br /> <br />Who am I kidding here, <br />who am I lost within <br />as deeply without <br />I am walking the night <br />alone. <br /> <br />And into the darkness <br />my heart <br />skips, <br />falters, <br />then dies. <br /> <br />16/11/08<br /><br />Viola Grey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/each-heartbeat/
