heart

i can still hear your heartbeat from miles away,
but as i drive closer
it becomes slower.

i can still hear the blood pumping through your veins,
but as i see you more
it begins to pour.

and now i see you here,
lying on the bathroom floor
with a needle in you arm.

i put my ear to your chest
and i can no longer hear your heart beat,
the heart that was also mine.
