#3: ticker*

Posted by: reasondeceives on: November 29, 2007

 

if only the
throbbing
of my heart
translates into
morse code

i will decipher
every beat
convert them
into a word file
print them on
cheap black paper

sign it with
my blood
immerse it with
my tears and
fold the paper
many times that
it forms a ticker
with a flap

incise your sternum
between your lungs
cut your heart
and bury the
ticker deep

so that its
rhythmic contractions
curb the length
of your anger
control the flow
of your tears
pump your fears
away and alter
your heartstrings
to fit mine

then our hearts
will beat at
the same rhythm
contract and expand
at the same passion

not loving you more
than you love me
thinking of you
when you think of me
know that my heart
breaks when yours does

same aches
same hopes
same forever…
