Heartbeat

Heartbeats pound within my chest

Disturbing lonely nighttime rest

Crashing loud within my ears

Thrusting forth my varied fears

Flashing brilliant on smothering black

Damning my dreams for what they lack


Bringing me to face this world I made

By swinging my short and moral blade

At those who offered life and soul

To enrich mine, to make me whole

That I might live my life within

This silent world of clangorous din


Yet I refuse their offered breath

And so rushed onwaed toward lonely death.
