can you rewind me, please? I’m afraid I’ve stopped beating

A quiet ache

Beats in my heart

Why does it

Feel so painstakingly sharp?

Just like

The summer rain

Against the leaves

Beating harshly

Against the trees

The ocean flooding

Drowning in tears

Gone are my hopes

Here are my fears

Then the sun

Dries up the sea

Leaving me as dry

As dry can be

Just a broken

Shack of bones

Withered and lonely

Longing for home

Wishing for one

Who'll love me

Then maybe one day

I'll finally be free?

A quiet ache

Beats in my heart

Maybe you

Could make it start?
