Heartbeat

By little chilli

I wait
Wait for the certainty that should come
Nothing
My heart beats
Like this
Du-dum
Du-dum
Du-dum
The long slow drone
Of silence
Is killing me
I wait
They step back
Give up
I wait
For the certainty
That should come
I wait
For the silence to end
Will your heart to fill the
Waiting
Ears of so many

Don’t keep me waiting

Certificate U
Of Oak Trees and Anorexia
