The Beating of a Heart
Emma Ziccone
Have you ever felt your heart beat
Beating, just beating
Ever felt it go faster,
Whenever she places her hand upon
yours
Have you ever stopped and listened
To the sounds of the night
Ever looked into the sky
And just felt
Alive
Like no one could ever hurt you
And have you touched her face so
lightly
Have you ever
Wanted to stay in that moment
forever
Have you ever tried to count the stars
Shining so brightly
Tried to imagine them failing
One by one
Have you ever work up to her smile
In the morning sun
And curled yourself into her
And thought to yourself
“I don’t want this to end”
Have you ever
Just never
Wanted it to stop
To live like this
Forever
