i could sense the dwindling vitality from your thinning
breath
a hand to my chest
a beating heart
would it reverberate in harmony
would it beat a steady rhythm
would the sun shine in where roses have wilted
in the corners of your diseased heart?
i walk past poems and love letters
a bouquet of cliches
i would give you my heart
my life in the hands of a surgeon
you can finally open your eyes
and see me as i close mine
