heartbeats

Tonight I'm restless
popping knuckles, stretching muscles
Tonight I'm not okay
my fingers fidget, lips bite down

Staring at celings, I'm unwound
Closed eyes, your face in mind
Life is never, never kind
And I'm not fine

You ask me why,
And I say,

You're not with me,
You're not with me so I'm not calm

Because in your cacophonous heartbeats
Is the only place I've ever found peace
