Surviving Heartbreak

The Sound Of Your Heart

I remember sleepless nights,
When the world was far too loud,
But the rhythm of your heartbeat,
Was the only thing that calmed me down.

Laying on your chest,
Wrapped in your arms so tight,
I felt untouchable, invincible—
Like nothing in this world could bite.

There was peace in just existing,
With you quietly by my side,
Your arms were home, a place I knew,
Where I no longer had to hide.

I know I wasn't your first love,
But I hoped to be your last,
Because no place felt as made for me,
As the moments when the time passed.

This isn't a sad poem—no,
It's a memory I still keep,
For since you left, I've yet to find
A place that feels so deep.

Nights might be longer now,
A bit quieter,
Maybe even a little bit lonelier,
A little out of place.

But I wouldn't trade that feeling,
Or share it with anyone new,
For that peace was meant for us alone,
And only meant for you.
