Mellifluous Murmurs

The Inbetweens Of A Pulmonary Valve

"Only the bitterness can give in to the bitterness; and biterness isn't considered dull, opaque, or desolation. It just shows you that beauty can be in every of thing and in every of one." - Marina Maher 

Your blood gushes

through your heart.

Can't you hear that?

Your emotions seep

and destroy every living molecule

in your body.

Can't you feel that?

Your skin tries

to escape its home

for you have boiled

 with rotten customs.

Can't you see that?

That isn't surprising 

that you aren't tucked 

in your bed

at 3:09 a.m.

listening to your heart beat,

feeling each pump in your arms

and neck,

or tracing each rhythm

of your breath

and how your chest heaves

up,

down,

up,

down,

down,

down,

down–

up.

Want to know a secret?

You have a heart.

Want to know another secret?

This one's pretty obvious.

You don't even know how to use it.
