Heartbeat

Thump. Thump. I can still hear my heart.

Thump. Thump. Footsteps stop and start.

Thump. Thump. Some kind of clapping sound.

Thump. Thump. The noises; all around.

Thump. Thump. The whispers in my ears.

Thump. Thump. I wonder if I can still cry tears.

Thump. Thump. It happens, once again.

Thump. Thump. Rattling cold metal chains.

Thump. Thump. Now it feels numb, the pain.

Thump. Thump. My vision’s torn apart.

Thump.

I can’t hear my heart.
