The Pulse

She's been waiting for the flat line
Waiting for the end of the pulse
Waiting for the silence surround
And for the shadows to engulf

For the careful wording carved in stone
For the silence without sound
For the garden filled with piles of bone
And the force she hit the ground

They called it a flesh wound
Said it only grazed the skin
But it hit hard and it consumed
With a sick and bitter grin

She never wanted to come back
She was done with the life of fear
And so she stopped her flickering pulse
And no one shed a tear.
