Drumbeat ~~~ ~~~ Rhythmic drumbeat grows louder As I awaken with a start Awareness gradually trickling in Drumming is coming from my heart ~~~ Memories flooding back Tender moments caught in time Drumbeats and heartbeats mingling Intensifying into sublime ~~~ It’s all gone now Except this one solitary beat Pounding relentlessly inside my chest As I lay under the silky sheet ~~~ I imagine a world without you Then suddenly realize I’m in it No more love, no more laughter or joy Just an emptiness that sees no limit ~~~ Again the drumbeat reminds me To rise up and get on with my day For ultimately it will be silenced When I quietly turn stony gray Share this:ShareEmailFacebookTwitterLike this:Like Loading...
