Heartbeat

I heard your heart beating

Hugging you so tight

Ear pressed against your chest

Arms around me - it felt so right

Right now, I'm missing you

Don't really want to anymore

Yet, neither do I want to forget

Only, what was it all for?

Understand so little these days

Really, I've lost my head

Head - no, more my heart

Enthralled with everything you ever said

And I'd like it back, if you could

Really, I must protest

To you keeping it so long

Because, now, it belongs in my chest

Endings hurt like nothing else

And we've played them on repeat

Though it feels harsh -

I need this final end to be complete 

Not that it even really helps -

God knows, I still miss your heartbeat
