Hear Me

So much noise
Can’t I just clear it all?
I want to hear the silence
I want to feel the silence

Feel the silence in your arms
The only break in sleep
The beat
Your heart
Next to mine
I can feel the steady rhythm of your pulse
Against my skin
The layers go
Pulse-skin-skin-pulse
Until there is only one heart in the stillness of the night
Only one beat breaking the shadows of
Your hand on mine
My heart your heart together as one.
