Poems

I hear the steady thump of my heart

It tells me I'm alive

But there is an echo between each beat

That tells me I'm alone.



Words go unspoken

That should not be kept silent

Because there are no ears to hear them

No heart to care.



Fears grow unchecked

Tears fall without restraint

Because there is no voice to soothe them

No hand to brush them away.



I hear the lonely rhythm of my heart

That tells me I'm alive

But I feel no love to nourish it

To say 'You aren't alone.'
