Thump... thump

Can you hear my heart
Thump thump thump
Beating, banging...
breaking

Thump... thump
It skips a beat
A deep inhale
I catch my breathe
Begging...
Please don't fail

A cry for help
Shattered glass
A perfect unscathed heart
A thing of my past

Too far gone to get back up
Burning scars
Don't let me fall
There's nothing left untouched

Chaos rages within
Rain poured into the cracks
A war...
I can't win...

Behind the clouds
The sun emerges
Rain stops pouring
World stops turning

Time to begin
New life arise
Time to move past
All the unnecessary strife

Life is short
Don't take it for granted
Appreciate what you're given
While you have it.

Can you hear my heart?
Thump thump thump
Beating, banging...
Healing.

Thump... thump.
It skips a beat
A deep inhale
I catch my breath
Whisper...
You didn't fail.
