Bump-bump.

went the heartbeat,

pat-pat,

said the hand,

shivering, 

slid the teardrops,

swoosh-swoosh,

 breezed the fan.



Scuddle,

mumphed the two shoes,

buzz-buzz,

drawled the light,

shaking,

were the knees

when they were pulled tight.



Squeeze,

whispered eyelids,

shudder,

screamed the breaths,

drip,

did the fingers,

touching one cheek,

wet.



I'm here,

murmured darkness,

always,

said loneliness,

tissue?

asked the sadness,

it's okay,

lied wariness.



Empty,

roared the room,

No one's here,

creaked the door,

Alone again?

remarked crevices,



You'll be fine soon,

promised the floor.
