A single pulse

My heart keeps pulsing

In silence it speaks

In fear it shouts

It loathes safety

It cries for home

Even through this rain

My ears are fixated to a pulse

My eyes scope a perimeter

I approach with feathery steps

Shadows laughing on the wall

I meet their gazes frozen in place

My gun eyes two

I release its rounds where

It paints the shadows

Where it shocks the atmosphere

And sends a jolt to my heart

My heart keeps pulsing

But the others not

Silence reaps their bodies

And leaves a trail heavy in sin

My knees meets the stone

While I reach to her

My hands drop

To welcome a warm embrace

Through this splintering rain

Your face it still glows

But my daughter

Your heart

Why has it stopped
