Empty, dull, lifeless. <br />I heard my heartbeat through your footsteps <br />thumping loudly into life <br />as you get closer and closer. <br />But that was not the end of it <br />as that was not the start... <br />my heartbeat's dying <br />as you walked away farther and farther. <br />And when you're gone, <br />there was a beat no more. <br />And that was the end of it, <br />as it was from the start... <br />empty, dull, lifeless.<br /><br />Jessel Jane Tevar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/heartbeat-33/
