Heartbeat And Blood Poem by Kathryn Garner

i feel the air in my lungs
i feel it coil down my body
till its life is done
through the veins, till bloody

the beat embellishes me
a rythem from my dead heart
but with every single beat
i know soon ill die
but youll make it start

i feel the slight convulsion
from the red robbed vein
in tune with the expulsion
of all my insightful pain

everytime i ever layed
on your bare, hard chest
everynight my mechanical heart strayed
only to your beating breast
the soft breath
you set upon my neck
and i felt your heart beat
from your hard chest
