Fine.

Your heartbeat
The metronome that reminds me
You’re alive
Click, click, click,
The beat that keeps time
When to strike the next chord
-Fermata

Your inhalations
Like the tide
As if I were lying on a beach
Don’t sweep over me
There will be no intermezzo
Not tonight

It is beautiful
It is pain

Stop beating
Stop breathing
Stop loving me

I will only be lonely tomorrow

Your love
When my metronome awakens me
It, like the tide, recedes in the night
There will only be
My heartbeat
Click, click, click
