Pulse

Pulse

A Poem by Becky
"

Heart beats say more than we'd like to admit...

"

 It beats only for my survival.

Nothing but empty drumming.

Bah-bump.

Bah-bump.

Bah-bump.

The same monotonous melody,

Yet now searching for another purpose.

Bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump.

The rhythm changes around you.

Finally finding more.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

Speeding up when you touch me.

Telling me it's affected by more than myself alone.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump bump.

My comfort is now found in this changing pulse.

Because every beat is simply yours.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

Bah-bump bump bah-bump.

The rhythm begins to slow,

Belonging to you only part of the time now.

Bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump.

Bah-bump bump.

It's slowly coming back to me.

No longer affected by you.

Bah-bump.

Bah-bump.

Bah-bump.

Back to beating only for survival.

Back to nothing more than empty drumming.
